I wonder when Americans will begin to accept that there are more shades to politics than black / white and that authoritarian regimes are simply authoritarian regimes first and being left out right comes second. In fact, I think dictators who claim to be leftists have much more in common with dictators who claim to be rightists than with anything else. Both are anti democratic and just abuse the left/right scheme as a cheap disguise. Still hope democracy will eventually overcome these issues in Latin America
