We don't ignore them - we just don't validate them. It is understood that Chavez wants to be the next Castro and fill his role when he dies. Chavez is a dictator and traditionally they don't last long. Castro has been the exception because of the tight grip he has held on his people's freedom of expression , personal freedoms and they are an island nation with minimal export resources. Castro was supported by Russia and that was all that kept him from failing. With the fall of the USSR Cuba's support disappeared and they have fallen upon extreme hardship. Chavez talks a tough game and with his recent closing of an anti-Chavez television station along with suppressing negative newspaper coverage he is trying to duplicate Castro. However, most believe he lacks the staying power of a Castro and he will not have the support and backing of a major communist country.

The only dictator in South and Central America is Fidel Castro. And I don't think the US ignores him.

Durring the Cold War it was because those dictators were typically opposed by communist revolutionaries backed by the Soviet Union.
Today, there's not such a pat answer. It can't very well be business ties, considering there are none to Cuba, for example, and those to Venezuela are rapidly being cut by Chavez.

We're to busy fighting against the other dictators in the white house, senate, house & beurocracies! It's geographically impossable for us to have troops fighting every where at once! Dump the politicians(magicians!) of THE democratic/republican party & vote for Ron Paul & support OUR Libertarian party & canidates for REAL positive change!

Because it is none of our business how a soverign nation conducts it's own country as long as that conduct doesn't hold an immediate threat to our country.

We don't - it's the UN that won't allow other countries to intervene on the peoples behalf. Besides the US needs to start to address our own problems we have today and solve them before helping others.

first, i think ignore is a strong word to use.
also did you know that some of those officials publicly threatened GW Bush and the US.
as well, do you think we have not tried to connect with them. sometimes working on foreign policy is not as simple as you think.
