What's at Stake in Venezuela I think the reason for this is that Latin America was used as a laboratory by the United States for a long, long time.

The 'Invisible' U.S. War in Colombia The number of U.S. civilians working in the antidrug programs in Colombia has doubled in the last two years. When funding for Plan Colombia was approved in July 2000, the U.S. Congress fixed a limit on the number of soldiers and civilian contractors who could "support" Plan Colombia.

This qualitative jump in U.S. involvement in Colombia is entirely clear.
