From a news story: “TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Honduran soldiers and riot police surrounded the Brazilian embassy, where ousted President Manuel Zelaya was sheltering on Wednesday, in what could turn into a long standoff and deepen the country's crisis. Hundreds of security forces, some in ski masks and toting automatic weapons, cordoned off a large area around the embassy building in Tegucigalpa where Zelaya holed up with his family and a group of about 40 supporters. Brazil's government said it would guarantee his protection inside its embassy and called on the U.N. Security Council to discuss Central America's worst political crisis in decades. De facto leader Roberto Micheletti said Zelaya could stay in the embassy "for five to 10 years" if he wanted, hinting that the administration is preparing for a long conflict.“ After almost one month, they are still talking. By now, the Brazilian Embassy must be tired of sheltering the ex-President. You know what they say about visitors and fish – they stink after three days. Someone somewhere knows the truth behind the ouster. I know I don't and neither does this topless woman.

Who is the victim here?

Europe
Doug Casey writes: "I think Europe is in even bigger trouble than the U.S. It's more highly regulated, more highly taxed, more imbued with socialist ideas. It's demographically in decline, and it's the front line in the War Against Islam. Forget it - except for a quaint vacation. I'm a big fan of Brazil; love the place, although I spend most of my time between Argentina and Uruguay, which I prefer. Any of these three countries (and Chile) are great choices. You'll get all the things you like about Europe, a lot less of the things you don't like, plus more opportunity, much lower costs, and vastly better weather - to me, it's not even a choice."
I must say I disagree with this, but only because I think Europe is about to take a sharp turn to the right. Europe and South America will probably soon create the biggest trading partnership in the world, so it won't matter where you decide to deplane or disembark. Good luck to you.
