Bush Criticizes Own Administration, Asks Latin America For Help

From the Washington Post:

President Bush urged the nations of the Western Hemisphere on Monday to work together to prevent governments in the region from backsliding to authoritarian rule.
. . . .
Bush, in his speech, spoke of two competing visions for the hemisphere.

"One offers a vision of hope. It is founded on representative government, integration into the world markets, and a faith in the transformative power of freedom in individual lives," Bush said.

"The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures to provide for their people."

He's completely right, you know.
