Obama’s policy on Venezuela leaves Chavez’s victims paying price
In May 2010, Nelson Mezerhane got the phone call that made him realize he could never return to Venezuela. The then-67-year-old businessman, a co-owner of Globovision, the country’s only independent television network, was in Boca Raton, Fla., where he had taken his family out of concern for their security.

Venezuela - Hugo Chavez and allies on the retreat, but still after the media
The illness of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has reinforced the conclusion among many Latin American analysts that the populist-authoritarian movement he leads has crested and begun to recede, along with the threat it poses to democratic governments and human rights. But you wouldn’t know that from listening to editors and publishers of the region’s leading newspapers.

Will turmoil drag Libya’s rebels under?
Until last Thursday, Libya was beginning to look like the relative good news in the troubled summer that has followed the Arab Spring. The United States and more than 30 other governments had recognized the Transitional National Council (TNC), based in the rebel capital of Benghazi, as Libya’s legitimate government. Its military forces appeared to be slowly gaining ground against those of Moammar Gaddafi, who was isolated in Tripoli.

Can Raul Castro modernize and stabilize Cuba?
Cardinal Jaime Ortega's role as a broker of human rights in Cuba began with the Ladies in White. In April the archbishop of Havana was outraged when, for two successive Sundays, thugs of the Castro regime besieged the weekly march of women protesting on behalf of relatives who are political prisoners. Ortega dispatched a letter to President Raúl Castro saying that "for the church to tolerate this in silence would be an act of cowardice," he told me last week.

U.S. falls short in helping Mexico end its drug war
Last month, 303 people were murdered in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, which lies alongside El Paso. This month, the dead include three men killed by a sophisticated, remote-controlled car bomb -- the first in Mexico's drug wars. In a city of 1.2 million, more than 2,600 died violently in 2009; some 200,000 more may have fled.

US - Obama's diplomacy, not fully engaged
Barack Obama's foreign policy has been defined so far by his attempts to "engage" with adversaries or rivals of the United States, such as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran and Dmitry Medvedev of Russia. The results have been mixed. But now the president's focus is visibly shifting. In the next 18 months, Obama's record abroad will be made or broken by his ability to do business with two nominal U.S. allies: Hamid Karzai and Binyamin Netanyahu.

Venezuela: ¿Como se desmoronó la revolución de Hugo Chavez?
Mientras el mundo permanece preocupado por la crisis en Haití, América Latina ha llegado en silencio a un punto de inflexión en el conflicto ideológico que ha polarizado la región – y paralizado la diplomacia de Estados Unidos -durante la mayor parte de la última década. El resultado se reduce a esto: el socialismo del siglo XXI de Hugo Chávez ha sido derrotado y va en vías del colapso.

Muslim Democracy in Action
The notion that democracy and Islam are fundamentally incompatible is about to get a resounding rebuke, just at the moment it is threatening to congeal as conventional wisdom in Washington.

The Facade of Latin Democracy
The threat to Latin America's fragile democratic order grows steadily more visible, from the latest round of paralyzing strikes in Bolivia, to the creeping Sandinista coup against Nicaragua's beleaguered president, to Hugo Chavez's preparations to militarize Venezuela with Cuban-style popular militias. But the greatest danger of all may be the refusal of the region's remaining democrats to acknowledge what they see.
