Breaking News ::
Chili Moves to the Left ¶ Michelle Bachelet 1st Female President!

So ... after Chavez and Venezuela, the Bush cabal got what they deserve:
Lulu Brazil, Socialist in Uruqua, Morales in Bolivia and a self-supporting Argentina freed from the IMF noose.
Only through U.S. and France meddling in Haiti, Bush got himself another country in chaos today.


The signing ceremony was attended
by Spain's defence minister (l)

Spain moved to the left. Another First Woman was elected as president in an African country - Ms Sirleaf in Liberia. Germany moved to the right but Angela Merkel is off to a great start on the international stage, an Islamist with extreme views got elected in Iran and insurgents running wild across the globe.

▼ ▼ ▼ MY DIARY

I took this picture when Pinochet had to give power in 89 (I believe).

On the way to Argentina, I flew and had a stop over in Paraguay. I had to get my 2 puppies out of the plane because there was a few hours delay. So I was pretty much on the runway. About 300 yards was waiting Stroessner's plane to leave the country. He had been deposed.

I spent about one and a half years in Argentina, and when I left to the US, we crossed to chile to fly back. It was on the days that Pinochet was being kicked out. Whe happened to meet some women were I was staying in Argentina, who had offered us to stay at their place. When we got there, they asked us if we wanted to go to the stadium for the inaguration of Alwin. It was such a party !!

Where we were, we had the Trosquists to our left, and the Communists to our right. That was an experience I will never forget.

I guess I should become a frequent flier :-)
