U.S. apathetic about Americas

Hardly any U.S. citizens consider Latin America an important region for the United States, according to a new Zogby poll on vivirlatino.com.

The Middle East came in with 43 percent of respondents considering it most important, but Latin America only received 7 percent, following Southeast Asia with 20 percent and Europe with 12 percent.

The regions U.S. citizens seem to care least about seem to be directly north and south.

Though I am not surprised, it pains me to read this. The path to a prosperous future for the US lies through stronger economic, cultural, political, and military ties with our hemispheric neighbors.

OK--in italy we know that the Americas had and are having a huge holocaust that doesn't get in the history books---the Spaniards slaughtered millions of natives and when they couldn't work the gold mines from being under fed and tortured the Spaniards brought blacks to do the dirty work--hence the black population of the South and the West indies----The hispanics are still to this day treating the indigenous as third class citizens.
i think there should be some shame along with all this hispanic pride we read about. Also some restitution made to the blacks and the indigenous by all the Americas---and the Indian holocaust should be put in ALL the history books---
read about the Taino Indians and the coming of Christopher Columbus

that is beacuse people in the USA now are [mikey's 5]
arrogant,greedy,ignorant,obese, and xenophobic.

any way better for me,
less gringos in Latin America the better
let them go to Costa Rica with all the other asshole 'ugly americans' where it is like Cuba was b 4 Castro,
USA whorehouse, casino and drug den

folks here care about their fat bellies and vid games and being on american idol,
real shallow
and those that know , know about Chiapas where large oil reserves are that if ever try to get tapped will be the Indigenous uprising, see the book, Day of the Dead
and as whatsamattau said, the Hispanics, those from Spain are the lowest of all and especially traeting the indigenpous as such, because they are nasty macho low self esteem people
even though we have problems in USA we are still the best, what year did Spain put a man on the moon? or any latin country
Viva El Gente, los de La Raza
