I would like to know how is the situation in Zaire / Congo in the pesent. Last mounth, I read another book that speak about the coltan and the tantalio´s war.
For other side, I think that the western medias (big medias) are speaking bad about our leaders (I mean, Latin americans presidentes, like my president CFK, Chavez, Evo Morales, etc.) I think that USA Army will come to South America when the finish in Iran, they next step of the bad call “democracy and freedom war” and it is a resources war (like Ruanda, Irak, Afghanistan, etc.) What do you think?
