The ashes were still being washed from the streets that staged the Rio de Janeiro Carnaval when Brazilians' eyes immediately turned to the two big events ahead in 2006: the soccer World Cup in Germany in June-July and the national presidential elections in October. If for the first no Brazilian has any doubt about who is going to win, for the second things are not so sure.

Yeah... well written. Just forgot a detail that is a bit too big to be forgotten about the History of Politics in Brazil: the influence of the US! Starting with the fact that the dictatorship came to power in Brazil with the help of the american government.

LBJ financed and deployed (naval task force in the Brasilian coast just in case) the dictatorship in Brasil. That's an american specialty!
Antagonizing other nations is counter-productive.....hence, the american popularity worldwide.

"Antagonizing other nations is counter-productive" Do you think so? And what about the Wars? We just pretend that they don't exist! There's WAR in the World in this exact moment and more people die each day civilians and soldiers. If more people were aware of certain realities may be we could change something. Who is damaging the "american popularity worldwide" is the american government and its foreign policy not me. Unfortunately many (not all) americans voted for it. Each nation has the government that it deserves, exception for those which are occupied or suffer in a dictatorship. When people will realize that everything is related?!? To say NO to US today is say NO to a unjustifiable WAR. Americans vote for their government so there's no way of saying that they have nothing to do with that. If they can put it there, they can put it down.
