There can be no peace without development for every nation. If the Darién Gap, a remote, road-less swath of jungle on the border of Panama and Colombia were developed, a smuggling corridor for cocaine, arms, and human trafficking operations would no longer exist.

That’s a wonderful idea. But since it makes no money for the congressional-defense industry that is all it will ever be.
