    Marco Aurelio García a word of advice, not that you really need it.

    You are dealing with the Pinocho clique! They're going to break their word and it will be all Brazils fault.

    Well I have warned you. Que Será, Será.

    Well ,he is now admitting that the recent meeting between the two presidents was not a succees and is trying to calm the stormy waters . Unfortunately he is totally incapable of calming anything . He has just insulted the President of Paraguay accusing him of ousting Lugo when that was done by Congress . One would think that after free elections in Paraguay he would try to reach a friendly agreement with the elected President . Instead he insults the current President and insists that Paraguay accept Venezuela as a member of Mercosur as a condition to renter that club ! But then one remembers that this was the man who involved Brazil in an incredibly stupid game with Iran , while Lula was President , which infuriated countries trying to come to a sensible nuclear deal with Iran . Will somebody please ask him to resign !

    It will be interesting to see if Brazil adheres to moral principles given what has been said:

    ”However during the April 25 frustrated bilateral summit, political issues were added to the discrepancies, according to the Sao Paulo media, Brazil (and the US) are concerned with the ‘Chavez path’ which the government of Cristina Fernandez seems to have adopted lately particularly with its insistence on the judicial reform and advances on the independent media.”

    Que Serã Sera? What does that mean? And which language is it? For that matter what does the rest of your post mean and which language are you writing in?

    What's the point of a “long term” solution when Argentina's gonna totally collapse within a year, with a new president and all.

    Yes, I was reading the revealing information from Nestor's secretary - the one CFK dismissed after Nestor's death without explanation. She should surely have been more careful about that. Better to keep one's enemies close.

    I love that there are so many fronts spinning out o control at the same time.
    All we need now is the NYC court verdict and the holdouts freezing the newfound accounts at Banco Nacion all over the world.

    So ...much...happening...

    So this is the big split with Brazil the haters have been going on about =)

    #2 Just when its defence of Vale's exploitative interests was getting me down, you remind me of two very big reasons to love Brazil - Lula's opposition and practical alternative to the “sensible solution” of total war that you no doubt advocate with Iran, and Dilma's firm and principled line with the despicable new Paraguyan President (probably better than Cristina's position on this, she was just a bit too nice to Cartes!)

    #7 Enemies indeed. Perhaps with a legitimate axe to grind about being sacked, or more likely this latest salvo has confirmed why she should have been sacked. Either way, why believe a disgruntled enemy with such a motive to lie?

    Is this guy in the article a drunkard? He doesn't seem to have a grasp on reality.

    When (not IF) the auto makers leave The Dark Country the so-called parts industry will collapse and Brasil will inherit the lot. And the sooner the better.

    Sooo much baaaad press recently...one would think it is coordinated! Shh I'm sure it is Clarin Oligarchs

    Where Did Argentina Go Wrong?
    My impression of Argentina is that the populace owns every bit of the failure as a nation.

    I think the quote in the first para. outlines Brazil's position very well.

    Is the author of the article aware that both Rosa's and Lavelle were dictators? Six months in the country and he has still learnt no history.

    I told you not to use that link. Bad puppet!

    #18 Indeed, the dictators (and genocidalists) are described as “far sighted idealists”, while he gripes about Cristina heading an “elected power elite” or some such. Well, barring anarchism which I don't think many on here advocate, we need some kind of power elite and better an elected than an unelected one...

    There have been a lot of “elected” Dictators in history. The Ks (both) are a perfect example.
    The old bag lady a little more so than the crosseyed wonder.

    #20 You remind me of Donald Rumsfeld (you might take that as a compliment of course!) when he said Chavez and Hitler were similar, and then mentioned just one common characteristic, that they were both elected...

    Oh there are plenty of similarites between Chaves/Kirchner and Hitler being elected is just one of them.
    1. Control of public information and opinion
    2. Vote fraud used to prevent the election of reformers:
    3. Undue official influence on trials and juries
    4. Usurpation of undelegated powers
    5. Seeking a government monopoly on the capability and use of armed force
    6. Militarization of law enforcement
    7. Infiltration and subversion of citizen groups that could be forces for reform
    8. Suppression of investigators and whistleblowers:
    9. Use of the law for competition suppression
    10. Subversion of internal checks and balances
    11. Creation of a class of officials who are above the law
    12. Increasing dependency of the people on government
    13. Increasing public ignorance of their civic duties and reluctance to perform them
    14. Use of staged events to produce popular support
    15. Conversion of rights into privileges

    Not necessarily in this order

    #22 Rumsfeld was more accurate; the only similarity is they were elected (though even in that there was a difference; Hitler came to power initially with the support of big business to deal with the communist threat...)

    BK, The veil has been lifted and what is shown is a rotting and stinking corpse.
    If you are too stupid to understand what is happening in Argentina I feel sorry for you.

    The old bag lady and her dirty crooked wig will be forced out of office and either in jail or dead before the end of her term.
