As your mail address ends with <.ar> it seems that you are for Argentina.
That's not what we Scandinavians will call a part of the "third world". The
third world is (as I have learned it) poor, little developed countries in
Africa, Asia and even perhaps in Oceania. Unlike you (and me) most people in
the real "third world" have *no* access to PCs, Disney comics, etc. Many
people are also starving or suffering for war, etc and are often
analphabetic. AFAIK no-one in DCML fits that definition (and let us be happy
for that).

As far as I have learned from Norwegian media the reason Argentina
experiences an economic crisis now is the damage done to the world economy
by September 11th (so it seems to be caused by Bin Laden, not by USA). When
it comes to Latin America, Bush senior once also stated that the only
dictatorship left there is the one in Cuba.

But perhaps we should stop this pointless debate on US policy now?
