<I doubt the Argentine military finds the idea of British nukes as amusing as we do> Brazil and Argentina have the technical talent to build a bomb. Both had programs that were disbanded. If the UK threatens South America with nukes, what do you think will happen to the non-proliferation treaty ? You have a distinctly un-American point of view of world affairs especially NATO and Europe and the Suez crisis. My guess is you also have difficulty in this dialog regarding questions of honor and the colors of our 13 stripes. If you wish to criticize my favorite South American country, you must first analyze my motives and center your argument there. If my spelling irritates you, it's intentional. wg PS - I am told your tea is still on the bottom of Boston harbor.

The average annual GDP from 2010-14 would stay around 3.3 percent, Only Mexico -overeliant in the US- is hit hard. The rest is doing very well As Europe's periphery is in shambles, Brazil's will keep growing.

Carlos Slim: You Fools Are Missing Out Big Time, Latin America Is Just About To Break The Development Barrier Carlos Slim, a veritable Latin America tycoon, has beaten out America's own tycoon Warren Buffett, plus Bill Gates, to become the world's richest man. Perhaps it is a sign of the times, whereby the wealthiest start to emerge from emerging economic regions, but some might have expected the richest man to emerge from Asia given all the hype around that region, right? Rather, Latin America has built the wealthiest human fortune and its owner seems little surprised: Forbes: Slim is bullish on his region, hypothesizing that the great influx in wealth will elevate Latin America, pulling more people out of poverty. Slim's bold prediction for the decade: "Latin America is close to breaking the underdevelopment barrier, of around $12,000 of income per capita. It seems to me that this should happen in the next 10 years." He continues: "The developing countries in Latin America have available both internal and external financial resources, better terms of trade on their exports of primary goods and competitive advantages thanks to the availability and production of commodities, tourism and a modern industrial sector." Few expect Latin America to outpace Asian GDP growth in the coming decades, but there will still be more than enough growth to make smart investors in the region remarkably wealthy.
