    It's much easier for an institution, for government, for a country, to recognize its mistakes when time passes and bad memories don't hurt national pride and cohesion anymore. So I'm sure the noble people of Britardland will ask Iraq forgiveness no sooner than 2113.

    I bet they won't get much in the way of information out of him: he's DEAD. Reminds me of the famous Monty Python sketch:

    I bet the result of the tests will be “inconclusive” as long as they report the truth that is.

    Bit repetitive today?

    Just what is it with you and the Brits? Your mother fell for a Brit and you were the result? I bet when he saw you he was off on his toes before you could say “what an ugly bastard”. Ha, ha, ha.

    I can see its left some scars on your character: I was going to say “brain” but the fact is, as you continue to demonstrate the fact every time you post, YOU DON’T HAVE ONE!

    HA, HA, HA.

    It seems a worm, tired of its diet of excrement has squirmed and wriggled its way out of the Riachuelo and onto these threads.
    It's name is forgetit, in itself a sure indication of infantile Alzheimer's disease,extenuated by incipient haematomas on the brain

    “Who thinks he was poisoned?”

    The conspiracy theorists I would imagine. Dilma on the other hand DOES know who killed an American Military Officer in front of his wife and children: he cell that she was the commander of DID.

    Of course, she was ONLY THE COMMANDER and didn’t know anything about it.

    These Brazilians in government think that everybody is stupid. Unfortunately they have the likes of Brasileiro that proves their case.

    I visited his fazendas in Uruguay many years ago. He was certainly worried about an assassination attempt as there was a manned antiaircraft gun in the grounds

    @6; quote ~England is a shit. England will never apologize for the shit you did. Get out of our land idiots.~

    I live here, it is quite nice really. every type of food in the shops, always. And, in general, the Police are not armed! Not many criminals have guns. Why? The Economy, Stupid! (as Clinton once said), because our Middle-Class is the majority, the police don't need guns,,, people dicuss politics and then vote, legally!
    I doubt you can even imagine the concept.... so please don't insult us with your pointless comments!
    Am I being patronising? Yes, because you need a Papi, why else do you always love a caudillo? Just accept that until you mature you will need some guidance, or prove me wrong.... No more corruption and exploitation then!
    As for 'getting out of your land'? I wonder if you are indigenous, or a descendant of the the Portuguese/Spanish Conquistadores?
    Be honest, are you?
