If the democratic governments and citizens of the Western Hemisphere, including the Bush administration, act with realism and skill, it may be possible to reduce the harmful consequences of Mr. Lula da Silva's past decades of left-radicalism and work with Brazil to help all its citizens, including the poor, have a brighter future.

I certainly doubt it. Lula's election complicates GW's goal of creating a hemispheric free-trade zone. Lula's antagonism to free-market policies is at odds with GW. There is something wrong with people when over 60% of the population vote for a commie Castro-lover who has a total disregard for Democracy, human rights, and freedom; and whose solution of the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is for the Jewish people to find another place to live.

People are totally naive to think that a communist can bring changes to a stagnate economy, reduce unemployment and improve people's standard of living.

Lula is correct: Brazil should have a nuclear weapon.

The next congress of commies he convenes in Sao Paulo will be Ground Zero.
