The Summit That Reached New Lows

Latin America leftist leaders had been insistent that the [Summit of the Americas in the Colombian city of Cartagena] meeting would be the last regional summit under the auspices of the Organisation of American States (OAS) unless Cuba, the communist island subjected to a US trade embargo since its 1959 revolution, was invited in the future.

[...]

The foreign ministers of Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay had said their presidents would not sign any declaration unless the US and Canada removed their veto of future Cuban participation.

"All the countries here in Latin American and the Caribbean want Cuba to be present. But the United States won't accept," Morales told reporters late on Saturday. "It's like a dictatorship."

”Like”?

Washington, backed by Ottawa, rebuffed widespread demands to include in the meeting's final declaration language specifying that Cuba be present in future summits.

They also refused to back Buenos Aires' claim to the Falklands, prompting Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to storm out of the summit, followed by Bolivia's Evo Morales.

Add all that to our dozen Secret Service agents who were sent home for cavorting with prostitutes at the hotel where Obama was stayig, we may be well on our way to being univited from the next meeting ourselves.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
