Kirchner-Chavez relationship endangers democracy, says ex-U.N. ambassador

Under the title “Argentina’s Annoying New Friend” former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nancy Soderberg (image via this site) warns that the relationship between Hugo Chavez and Argentine president Nestor Kirchner may lead to political instability in Argentina. Chavez’s dealings with Argentina filled a void caused by U.S. inaction in the region which the Bush administration needs to deal with as soon as possible, according to Soderberg.

Soderberg’s op/ed piece sounds eerily similar to another opinion article we linked to several days ago on the need for the U.S. to take a more active role in dealing with Uruguay.
