Responding to overall US intransigence, other western hemisphere countries are organizing themselves. Greg Grandin, professor of Latin American history at New York University, told me:
"Latin Americans themselves are creating these bodies that are excluding the United States, that are deepening integration, political and economic integration. This seems to be a venue in which they come together in order to criticize Washington, quite effectively."
Grandin compared Obama's Latin America policies to those of his predecessors:
"The two main pillars of US foreign policy increasing neoliberalism and increasing militarism around drugs continue. They feed off of each other and have created a crisis in that corridor, running from Colombia through Central America to Mexico. That's been a complete disaster, and there's no change."
It will take more than a prostitution scandal to cover that up.
