    SUMMARY

    Thesis: Times have changed, more than most realize or politicians acknowledge. The military, Pan-American "community", and economic reasons for our approach to Latin America have declined importantly. 1) we have little security problem; the bases are insignificant except as psychological warfare. Very little current need for the region's strategic materials and our tankers and carrier-centered naval groups cannot use the Canal. 2) The Pan-American community is a myth; only Grenada agreed with the US in the US last year more than half the time. 3) Investment and imports from the region account for only about 13% of our total.
