Venezuela might work better as a nation building project because at the very least the people of Venezeula share in the western christian cultural traditions to some extent. That can go a long way in making meaningful changes towards a more prosperous nation.
The U.S. really has nothing to lose by building up south american countries economically especially to be used as resource trade partners. A stronger overall western hemisphere is beneficial to the U.S. in the long run and is a better deterrent against communism/socialism.

If we have to import oil I'd much rather it be from other western-born nations than the eastern born ones.
