1. It's about time the US...

starts to focus attention in our own hemisphere. If the US and Canada would truly begin to embrace our neighbors to the south instead of letting corporate exploitation do the diplomatic work, the potential social and economic rewards for everyone involved could be amazing. We have turned a blind eye to the exploitation of every country south of the Rio Grande, mostly rooted in 70 year old cold war politics. There is a treasure trove of social and economic reward for all right here in our own backyard. For half the investment we have in the middle east we could be developing strong relationships with our neighbors that would reward not only them, but us by removing pressure of immigration and opening free channels of trade. IMO the biggest foreign investment for the US moving forward should be in our hemisphere.
