Iran: Latin American Interests

Iran’s Latin America Push, (Los Angeles Times)…John Kiriakou, Nov 8, 2008.

Iran, the ultimate mischief maker with global reach, astounding patience, a shameless marriage to mayhem and terrorism, and interests that fall squarely in opposition to those of the United States, is making major diplomatic inroads under Washington’s nose.

The United States still has an opportunity to stop the Iranians in their tracks in Latin America. But it’s a big job. The growing Iranian influence — inconceivable a decade ago — is the result of the decision by the United States to stop paying attention to the region. And it will only be reversed if the U.S. changes its policy.
