Investors.com - Blundering In Brazil

Investors.com - Blundering In Brazil: "Diplomacy: With Iran growing more dangerous, it's bad enough to see Brazil cozy up to the mullahs. But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has made things worse with tactless remarks. Is there an ambassador in the house?

Brazil's on the rise economically and militarily. It also harbors a not-unreasonable desire to exert influence globally. But it has a bit of an inferiority complex and an exaggerated desire to differentiate itself from the U.S.

Not a big problem, but one that should be taken seriously because — like India and China — Brazil is important. And its dealings with Iran could undermine global efforts to check Tehran."
