#1 It should also be mentioned that Brazil has sold weapons to certain Middle-East countries in the past. And with Lula at the helm and him actively engaging these dictators, anything is possible.

As for Brazilian "free trade", anyone who spends a lot of time there knows that any imports are taxed up the ass. So much so that it makes imported goods twice as expensive as you'd find them in the US. Electronics are the worst, especially since Brazil isn't a huge producer of them.

#2 brazil only has one REAL ASSet. It is the home to some of the world's finest looking women. Other than that....it's a backward shithole.
