Troubled Central America

Honduras, a key nation in Central America, appears to be continuing a downward slide into chaos. It is becoming what author Jaime Darenblum describes in an article for RealClearWorld as "a failed state."

This entire region is troubled, some nations more so than others. Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras are probably the worst, with Nicaragua not far behind. Further south, Costa Rica and Panama are in less trouble, and nobody seems particularly worried about Belize, the only non-Spanish speaking country in the region.
