There's been real progress and it's important progress. I think what we have is elected democracies in Central America. We don't yet have democratic societies in Central America. The question is whether the key institutions that you have to have to make a democracy work in the long term really become consolidated. We're a long way from seeing that consolidated.
People have to decide.
The citizens of the Central American countries have to feel that democracy makes a difference in their lives. And I don't think that that's happening yet. There are more people out of work, inequality is worse, they haven't seen the benefits of democracy. And if they don't see that soon, they're going to lose faith that democracy is an answer to their problems. I think that many people in Central America really appreciate what might be called the growing civility of political discourse, the growing civility of individual rights.
