    Paraguay's election definately needs observed, not sure if I'd trust the biased OAS to do it though!

    “According to the OAS release during the session of the Permanent Council representatives from Paraguay, Mexico, Peru, the United States, Dominica, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, Guyana, Argentina, Venezuela, Panama, Grenada, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, Colombia, Bolivia, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Uruguay, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Chile actively participated in the discussion.”

    B-K, it seems that most of the members of Unasur and ALBA took part in the discussions, so where is the bias of the OAS???????

    Since the dictatorship fell in 1989, all of the presidential elections have been accepted by the opposition. Observers of each party are placed in every voting station and so fraud is not that prevalent. What you do get is people selling their votes, but that happens in any election. Some people voted for Obama because they were promised to get free healthcare, same thing in my book.

    BK - you have no clue what is going on in Paraguay. All you know is that the radical left lost one of their candidates and you regurgitate what the likes of Hugo Chavez and company say. The current government has invited observers from around the world for the elections simply to show that things here are ok. Accept that Hugo Chavez's socialism doesn't work. It has failed and will always fail.

    @3 You have to remember that Burger King doesn't “trust” anyone except the Wicked Ugly Botox Witch of the South and the Monster of the North. I must assure you that he/she/it doesn't represent the people of Britain. In fact there are doubts about the “British” bit. Some have suggested that he/she/it may be in Scotland. Nearly “British”. Have you seen pictures of the current Scottish leader, Alex Salmond? Should have been “Salmon” as he looks somewhat like a fat fish!

    Já não precisamos escrever em inglês! Já podemos expressar nossas opiniões e pontos de vista em nossa língua materna. A liberdade de expressão não se pode ocultar dentro do desconhecimento, não se pode negociar em bons termos quando o caminho está repleto de armadilhas, as quais nunca poderíamos entender. Não são nossos conceitos de liberdade, irmandade e felicidade que são aviltados, mas os seus. Novos caminhos passam por novas descobertas. Sejamos razoáveis: ter que expressar meus sentimentos e desejos em uma língua estranha para mim é no mínimo, para não se dizer mais, uma covardia. Obrigado!
