For a pure lack of ironic sense, try the cover article in Jan.Foreign Policy :How Chavez is refashioning dictatorship for a democratic age.Or the new Foreign Affairs issue:Is Washington Losing Latin America? Didnt know it was ours?Or the National Interest: Americas Neighbors They are pouring it on in a big way.
