		<description><![CDATA[Much has been made about Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos&#8217; success at mending relations with his neighbors to the east and south. Rightly so. Given the difficult situation he inherited from his predecessor, this is no small feat.
But Santos&#8217; newest diplomatic test may now come from the north.
On Jan. 3, Panamanian Foreign Minister Roberto Henriquez [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boz has a great point about the fresh funding headed to Central America:
I think a lesson is that there is no amount of money that the US could put on the table and no amount of attention the US could give that would guarantee Central America&#8217;s success in fighting organized crime.
