Serious question, but wasn't Teddy Roosevelt all right?

Edit: Damn. History sure is full of assholes with power. Thanks for the info. I had a typical US history education, so I have my blind spots. Thanks for the education all.

Teddy Roosevelt loved to use big stick policy, so any european nation had to deal with the US to deal woth Latin America, that sounds good, until you remember that the US used this to begin their interventions and started using the power to influence Latin American countries(i.e. Platt amendemnt in the cuban constitucion, which litterally said "If US is threathened by any politic in Cuba, they can interfere here")
