If Washington had used the election of Venezuela’s new president as an opportunity to normalize bilateral relations, President Maduro may have reconsidered Snowden’s request for asylum. The same goes for Nicaragua. A reexamination of America’s ‘War on Drugs’ would have gone a long way in easing tensions in Latin American transit zones where civilians are paying the price for an unsuccessful policy bent on militarization. Now that Snowden has been granted asylum in Russia, the Unit- ed States should focus on mend- ing old wounds instead of giving the media more sensational stories, which only glamorize the action of leaking classified documents. Applying a carrot and stick method may work for now, as the case with Ec- uador shows, but honest engagement with Latin America may be in the United States’ long term interest.
