20. Well, it is because of George W. Bush.

But not because of "lack of engagement", it's because he bet everything on the Middle East. It's not simply that he took Latin America for granted, though he did, he also made it impossible for the USA to take forceful military action, the USA is broke and hamstrung by Bushite policies, and everyone knows it.
