Brazil is surrounded by american's military base. Perhaps Brazil can smell something. Exemples of the american's good intentions in Iraq and Iran are refecting on how Brazil looks at the usa presence in south america. Their intentions are clear, world domination. And please, dont think that we don't know that the american population is aware of what is going on. You are even trying to make us believe that you didn't vote for bush? fake election? well he has reelected...and now to make the american image good again... you have a black president. How nice... people don't believe it. it is all stategy to make it ok to go to war. It's not. but then again, we are all just animals or virus in this world. NO ONE IS RIGHT.... Just leave my country alone, We have problems of our own. Also mentioning that north american's base are around brazil. Brazil is surrounded by american's military base.
