That's the provocative contention of the great David Rieff, now posting at The New Republic's new foreign policy blog Entanglements. By way of a "hyper-realist" thought experiment, Rieff succeeds at a minimum in convincing this reader that, going forward, we'll pay more and more dearly for devoting resources to the mideast at the expense of a well-conceived and well-executed Latin America policy. Here's hoping -- and claiming -- that we can do both. Hat tip Tunku Varadarajan.
