>For similar reasons that the USA is the great pariah in Cuba.

That should probably read "the great pariah in Latin America". Is there a country in the whole region the US hasn't overthrown, tried to overthrow, propped up a right wing dictator, funded death squads in the last 70 years?

Costa Rica.

I'm not sure there are any others, though. Maybe Belize, though I'm not sure that counts as "Latin America".

As someone who admittedly knows very little about Belize, why would it not count as part Latin America?

Because it was a British colony, not a Spanish or Portuguese one. That changes the whole culture.
