Argentina: Victimas de lo que provocan – por Joaquín Morales Solá
Valenzuela es sólo el último caso de una rara política kirchnerista: el exterior no tiene derecho a opinar sobre la situación argentina, aunque los argentinos tienen derecho a opinar hasta del color de la corbata de los líderes extranjeros. Esa política ya barrió de Buenos Aires a destacados embajadores extranjeros y, sobre todo, dilapidó la eventual simpatía hacia la Argentina de los países más importantes del mundo.

US: America’s Enduring Exceptionalism – by Israel Ortega

US: Win Over Washington One Nuke At A Time (a memo to Honduras) – by Claudia Rosett

US: Taxes, Depression, and Our Current Troubles – by Arthur B. Laffer

Honduran Headache – Investor’s Business Daily
The U.S. hit Honduras with harsh new sanctions last Thursday, slashing $30 million in aid. Nothing new, but the timing’s strange, given that the rest of the world is starting to normalize ties with the tiny state.
Colombia: Uribe 1, Unasur 0 – Critica Digital
Tras más de siete horas de debate, centrado sobre todo en acusaciones cruzadas entre Uribe, Chávez, Correa y el brasileño Lula Da Silva, la cumbre de Bariloche terminó con un documento consensuado pero que no resolvió el tema central que había reunido a los presidentes: la instalación de bases norteamericanas en Colombia.

Inmediatamente, Hugo Chávez, Fidel Castro, Rafael Correa, Evo Morales y Daniel Ortega comenzaron a chillar.
