Each time I have heard a news report concerning these three, cuba venezuela and brazil, it is by some liberal news reporter that is gushing they are so happy to see socialists coming to power.
Let's see how long it takes the brazilian to get thier econemy to tank. Then we'll see how long he has support from others then the wretched poor. Sort of like what is happening in venezuela. The ones that support chavez are the poor and uneducated that have little to offer.
Eventually you will see real trouble once again in central and south america because prosperity levels will fall dramatically.
