This Report examines three critical moments in today's Latin America: the tense face-off in Venezuela between supporters and opponents of President Hugo Chávez; the coming of an apparent flashpoint in the long Colombian armed conflict; and the helplessness of the Argentine government to do anything to stem the country's economic chaos. Discussions of these national crises are grouped together here because of the strong possibility-and palpable concern among the region's political leadership-that these separate moments portend a larger hemispheric crisis.
