latin america was after it declared independence. in fact what happened was there were 21 border wars, very similar to the u.s.-mexican border war in the hundred years following latin america independence. this particular one shows latin-america before the war of the pacific when chile invaded north and took big chunks out of peru and bolivia. very similar and justified in almost the same exact way as the american expansion. so if we want to call chile an empire or uruguay an empire, i say do it. but we don't. why? because those became nation states in the rights that citizenship are defined a different way. they're just a different animal. by the way, the chileans didn't just stop at butting up against the neighbors. it wasn't just chile, there were 21.

latin america for example in asia. it's interesting because they used to have this idea they won't control their family size until everything is all modern. there is much of latin latin america birthrate is falling through the floor even before the modernization really catches up. and the only place where the birth rate is as high as it was our sub-saharan africa and parts of the muslim world but not other birth of the muslim world where it is the same as here so it seems like it's been pretty successful and not everybody that wants it can get it even today. today. >> there's a problem with access and the reliability of just remembering to take it every day. and i think that limited the pill in the early years. now they are using the same technology to make the long-acting forms of contraception that can be implanted into those basically work on the same hormones that get developed and they are more effective, still expensive in some parts of the world but they are much more effective and i do think that it could be that for the last 30 or 40 years that part of the dream wasn't coming true but we are starting to see progress. >> host: although there are so many

latin america. it's going to be a big factor in president obama's foreign policy legacy. especially in the part of the world, latin. that we haven't paid much attention to. all administrations always forget about latin america. you know, they think about the middle east and north korea and ukraine, but when it comes to our neighbors in the south, it's secondary, and that shouldn't be the case. >> ambassador, we just heard from casey hunt on the hill that there is so much opposition as well as the celebratory tone that, you know, she, and we've heard this from others as well. thinks it is a stretch that there'll be new legislation on this. with that being the case, how much does that blunt the impact of this reset in u.s./cuba relations? >> it won't help. the big move is the exchange of embassies. the president can do that by executive action. that's going to be the highlight in the world in the press and in the international community. but i don't believe the embargo can be tightened anymore than it is. with the helmsburg-burton act, it is very tight. any kind of change almost has to be approved by a majority vote

in fact, sabrina, this law -- i used to cover latin america and we used to make fun of the latin american laws because they have so many and their were so complex that in order to follow one part of their law you had to violate another part of their law. that's exactly what obamacare is. >> yes. i wish i could stay as calm as others on the panel. when i heard sebelius comments, i felt my blood hit the boiling point. this is exactly the kind of soft bigotry of low expectations that we see throughout the democratic party. i think it's disgusting. rich maybe said before the show that look, people navigate a koch kated world every day, we buy houses, buy cars, get to work every day. the reason health care is complicated is because government put its head into things.

latin america relationship and created more and more distance between the u.s. and latin america on drug policy, and on immigration policy. these also have been initiatives done only by the president. there's been no congressional action on either of these and i think it's just an interesting case where president who before the cuba initiative this was not really recognized that he was operating on his own. now it becomes clearer that that must admit and i i'm watching all the pundits change their view on president obama. suddenly he's one of the most creative individuals in international affairs because of the cuba and i think a lot of us that work on latin america suddenly see him in a new light as well. in any event, i'm going to turn it over to all of you and to michael to. >> thank you, thanks peter. before starting i want to recognize colleagues from the cuban interest section who has joined us here, perhaps soon to be the cuban embassy. and havana, they're looking for a flag pole so they can raise the american flag, which i think would be the next step maybe in thi

latin american pope and he knows what latin america has defined its own model of economic growth which is true to its own traditions and locates itself, cuba, after all, even though it isn't necessarily a highly practicing catholic country, nevertheless is a country of catholic tradition. the church will play a very important role i think in bringing about in bringing to birth a nurturing democratic transition in cuba. a wonderful example of francis as bridge builder, as a man who creates spaces for the holy spirit to act, this is his whole spirituality -- in many ways this is his life's work. he did it back in the 1970's and then in argentina as an archbishop and a leader in the latinerican church and now as pope, building bridges of trust to create new possibilities, new creative possibilities which power -- which are humanly unimaginable 12/31/14 12/31/14 speaking of him as an argentine leader, his fellow archbishop oscar romero, talk about what his role is now in recognizing archbishop oscar romero who was gunned down march 24 1980, i think it was also the former foreign minister of nicaragua. >> that's right. archbishop oscar romero gunned down at the altar in 1980, archbishop of san salvador. in many ways, an iconic case of latin america church standing with the poor and willing to sacrifice itself, its own privileges and in the case of oscar romero, the very lives of the priests who stem with the poor. oscar ramirez martyrdom enabled him to become a saint, to be canonized by the catholic church a long time ago. the process of canonization was blocked in rome from a very early stage under john paul ii by group of latin american conservative cardinals particula

significance, i think, in terms of uruguay in particular, it is the first latin american country, the first country is -- in latin americasafe haven to men who needed in order to leave guantÁnamo. president ortega has emphasized the fact he is doing this as a humanitarian gesture -- president mujica has emphasized the fact he is doing this as a humanitarian gesture. his expression of support, the fact that uruguay has come forward and taken six men, he released a letter stating the united states did not have enough information that these in conductingved or facilitating terrorist activities. so i think are the region, it is important and i think -- we hope there's more of an opening for more countries in south america and the region to come forward and take additional men who remain. there are 64 men, 132 still at guantÁnamo, who have been approved for release. most of him since 2009, so it is absolutely past time for these men to go home. we're approaching the 13th year anniversary of guantÁnamo january 11, the beginning of the 14th year that these men have been imprisoned. it is past time to close it. >> in an intervie

latin america create basically this idea of an america's power house and really improve diplomatic relations is cuba's been a big impediment in sort of, when any time the united states engages in latin american policy, how this could change the u.s.'s ability to influence latin america in general, create this big economic power of the southern and western hemispheres nogt a way that asia and europe had done. i think a part of this that's getting overlooked and could become the big long-term benefit of this change in policy. >> well chuck, just to that point, there is the upcoming summit for the first time, the oas in panama being held in panama in april has invited cuba. up until now, they had enough leverage to block cuba from participating, this time raul castro and barack obama will be at the same summit. that's april. so if enough progress has happened until then, i think you're going to see a completely different relationship, one other point that has been stressed by critics of the administration, the u.n. vote was 192-1 against the u.s. recently on the subject, the annual vote that cuba always pushes on the embargo. so whatever the other human rights violations by havana, the

environment in the companies in the country sending it to come in latin america typical our customers are and of course, europe the latin america predominate. have y'all look at some of those issues? am going to ask if that's been looked at by our environmental community. has eia done that? >> that's going to be part of our study. >> i look forward to the study. ms. gordon, has there been any qualification of that, even though we're doing heavier crude and producing a lot more diesel that we don't use that our country, a result of low sulfur because that helps put in the countries that are by that from us. now compared to the diesel that may be coming from other parts of the world. >> yes. certainly taking the sulfur out will be fantastic for health and for the environment, but the question is for the heavier coat. when you put koch into these refiners you basically remove the middle of the agenda put a lot more gas and diesel which is good for profit and a lot more of solid substance called petroleum coke. we're also exporting that but i think with increased appetites of increased use has increased its exports to china
