Well, I'd listen to that guy when the USA is a proper democracy. Brazil is btw with an advanced electronic voting system.

Just think of it. In the UK we just have a manual voting system where people separate votes and count them. Cheap and reliable. Some USA states use electronic systems

Florida used a system that was unreliable and inaccurate.

Placed on top of all that are the special interest lobby groups, that are funded by big money for various reasons.

Yes, I can why as proper democracy like Brazil needs "taken out". Start with a whole load of propaganda first...nukes, terrorism, then work up to a froth before invading.

The IMF and central banks don't do any country any good. The whole monetory system is corrupt and needs replacing.

That's where the problem is imho. This whole loans thing has got entirely out of hand.

Hi LindyBill; Re: "Are you ready for us to undertake a "Regime Change" in Brazil? It may be on the Agenda down the line, if this article is accurate."

No, I'm not ready, and neither is most of the rest of the American public.

This heavy-handed Bush unilateralism is stirring the world pot in such a way as to influence foreign countries to form alliances against us. I think it's the most amateurish foreign policy we've had since Jefferson.
