I think we all knew what that memorandum of responsibility between Iran and Argentina was really about. Ironic that this story sits close to the one on the Ford executives getting their comeuppance years late and an unthinkable number of inflated pesos short. Of the very few places where I'm sympathetic to the Kirchnerites was their alleged intent balancing the ledgers from the Dirty War despite de facto amnesty of all the dirty war criminals and their toadies making it an intractable problem. It's hard to look at one and the the other and think that all of it is just for show.

@1 I'm glad that those who played key roles in the Dirty War are being held accountable. However, I tell you that it has more to do with what is convenient for the K's and not what is right.

It will help their credibility, but they selectively choose cases that do this. Remember that atrocities are happening today. There is a new “Dirty War”. The morally depraved (many of which are unemployed and collecting welfare) freely commit crimes such as rape, murder, theft and animal abuse without any worry of repercussions. In fact, many of them are being set free to participate in CFK's rallies.

They may not be the military, but they are just as dangerous, and unlikely to be held accountable. Many have been jailed for defending themselves. What does that tell you?

Argentina will still talk to the guy if he becomes Iranian president, as they prefer regimes such as Syria Iran Cuba etc.

All the nations the USA adores.....
