The flawed election, ignoring warnings about the electoral council, and the lack of honesty about and accountability for the cholera outbreak, suggest it is high time to turn a new page in US relations with Haiti.
Despite the fact that the U.S. government was crystal clear on what had transpired, the U.S. did not immediately cut off all aid to Honduras except "democracy assistance," as required by U.S. law.
Despite the tireless efforts of the nation's editorialists, the American people don't believe in free trade agreements, and their failure to take instruction on this point is greater among Republican voters and independents.
Nestor Kirchner, the recently-deceased former president of Argentina, defied Washington and the International Monetary Fund during his time in office, putting the need to revive Argentina's domestic economy ahead of the demands of foreign creditors.

Last week, Stone sat down to talk with me about his recent documentary, South of the Border and his upcoming release Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps -- and the links between the two.
How could Oliver Stone be so fond of Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela, and hawk his new documentary about a man that many of us think may become the next Fidel Castro?
Oliver Stone does not know Venezuela very well. He has spent a few days here, always in the company of President Chavez. He admits he has not spoken with any opposition leaders, nor has he seen first hand the real Venezuela.
Mr. López offers a "Tea Party" view of Venezuela, in which everything that is wrong with the country is the fault of the left government, and Chávez -- like Obama for the Tea Partiers - is a "dictator."
Unfortunately, for the vast majority of Venezuelans, many of Oliver Stone's statements about the rule of Hugo Chavez could not be further from the truth.
Perhaps the biggest surprise about Oliver Stone's new documentary about Hugo Chávez and the rise of leftist South American leaders isn't that it's on...
While mainstream coverage of Oliver Stone's South of the Border has fallen flat, the issue of Stone's own political ties to Latin leaders is a valid one worth exploring.
NYT's reporter Larry Rohter turned in a factually challenged fact-check of Oliver Stone's new film South of the Border. So Stone and the film's co-writers wrote a devastating rebuttal.
A closer examination of Larry Rohter's review of South of the Border reveals that the mistakes, misstatements, and missing details he mentions are actually his own, and that the film is factually accurate.
No doubt, many supporters of U.S. policy in South America and opponents of the region's progressive governments will now cite Rohter's piece in the Times as "evidence" that the film is "inaccurate," in an attempt to discredit the film.
Oliver Stone's latest documentary, South of the Border, offers a unique perspective on Latin America, where democratically-elected presidents have braved the strong arm of the US and its policies.
