Obvious attempt to punish liberal-democracy proponent is obvious.

Isn't it time that the Israelis reopened investigations into the Deir Yassin Massacre where most of the Israelis involved were given state burials and the Lehi or Etzel Medals? What about looking into all the weaponry, training and intelligence that they fed to the Argentinians during the Falklands War?

I guess these things are not at the top of Israel's UN Ambassador Ron Prosor's list of todos.

At least we had a non-white (white european) president. Britain them racist never will vote for a black MP becoming PM. Just like they don't have gay marriage either... Figures.

He´s one of the biggest SOB on Argentine History.

And for those who don´t know:
1) The kirchner couple praised him when he was a president
2) he´s now an ally of the kirchners at congress.

Makes me sick ....

He's ONE of the Financial terrorists. He is one of the many who blew up the Argentine economy and should have been arrested long time ago. He is one of them who blew up the Argentine economy similar as how today European leaders are blowing up their own nation to pay off their friends who gambled and lost. how? by misleading the people in the name of “austerity measures” to honor the debt that was put on the national debt by the banksters illegally but was made legal by their friends in the government. that's how the game works.

#4 Kirchnerism is the direct repudiation of Menemism, it is the Gallowayism to his Blairism
