We've talked many times before about this crazy idea of mine that the US will soon be turning its attentions away from the middle east and toward Latin America. Here's more grist for the mill:
In political magazines and Congressional testimony in Washington, cold war alums - almost as masterly at political resurrection as Mr. Ortega - issued strong, although vaguely substantiated warnings about Al Qaeda recruiting operatives in Latin America; about a new "axis of evil" forming across the Western Hemisphere, from Venezuela through Nicaragua to Cuba; about a "destabilization," or a "backslide away from democratic principles" south of the border; about Daniel Ortega serving as a tool to Fidel Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.
