Check out this piece by Jackson Diehl in WaPo: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/jackson-diehl-nations-know-there-is-no-price-to-pay-for-flouting-the-us/2014/08/03/e4f18bde-18b1-11e4-9e3b-7f2f110c6265_story.html   Diehl often criticizes the administration for soft-peddling democracy and human rights.  But this piece has deeper meaning: we don't even have influence over Bahrain (home of  US Naval Forces Central Command) and Aruba.
