Assuming states in western hemisphere are as diverse as states in other regions in terms of their technology levels and capacity to address their problems, US should think in terms of classifying development needs of states in terms of the technological interventions they require and create an international mechanism under it's leadership to link up states in western hemisphere with developing countries in Asia particularly, create market for goods and services for developing countries and get leverage over Asian developing countries to carve out for itself opportunities for more intense engagements with Asian liberal democracies, which have natural demographic advantages. Western Hemisphere offers opportunity for a chain of relationship of mutual dependence among North America led by USA, large liberal democracies of Asia and even Africa and countries of western hemisphere. Please comment.

On February 26th, 2010 my Children Gabriel and Anastasia Hunkovic were abducted by their Mother knowingly in direct violation of a US Court order. I have been fighting this case for close to 3 years know and get nothing but the run around from the States Department as to why the US has not excepted Trinidad into the Hague. Trinidad is a signature to the Hague but to date the US has not excepted them. Trinidad has been compliant with the other countries that have excepted them. Why is it that the US Ambassador to Trinidad not mentioned my children to her counter part in Trinidad? They have been held their as wards of the State of Trinidad for close to 3 years now! This is despite the fact that I have full custody of my children.

Historically, and during the 20th Century, US strategy (and priorities) has been based on an east-west view of the world. With the ever increasing importance of Latin America in the economic, cultural, and social domains, should US strategy take more of a North-South approach as we continue our march into the 21st Century?
