Eurasia: A Geo-political re-alignment

[R.K. Locke]

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but tell me more about the Bush's Latin American ranch? on another thread, or PM?

Sorry, this article is full of geographical inaccuracies. The Chaco is indeed in the northwest part of Paraguay, but Paso de Patria is in the extreme SW corner, and the aquifer that this article speculated GWB wants to control is in the south east. The Chaco is near the "lowlands" of Bolivia (not the part where the E. coca var coca grows) and the jungle of Brazil.

In an entirely coincidental and unrelated matter, I'm certain, Brazil is beginning to be concerned about the security of its borders. It would seem that cocaine is smuggled into Brazil thru the jungle and that crack is beginning to be sold in the streets of Brazil.

P.S. As of 2010, the USA and Paraguay do have an extradition treaty.

The Guardian is a horrible paper but there are lots of other outlets where you can find this story if you have a dig around.
