Vision Abandoned [WP]

In this article Marcella Sanchez writes about the growing concern over the future of US Foreign aid, highlighting possible implications for Latin America. She cites Nancy Birdsall from her blog post Transformational Diplomacy or Tweaking?

From the article:

Rice's "transformational diplomacy," however, does not necessarily spell the demise for aid to Latin America. Nancy Birdsall, president of the Center for Global Development, believes Rice's plan reinvigorates development, the core mission of USAID, by making it "a national security imperative."
