This is Not Good

With a madman to the north (Hugo Chavez) and a madman to the south (Evo Morales), articles like this one from VCrisis do not make me sleep well at night:

If buying warplanes were like trading in a car, the Lula administration would be a loyal customer of the low mileage used car section. While South American neighbors acquire latest generation aircraft Brazil renews its air force with French Mirage aircraft from the 80's.

Brazil's airforce loses out to Venezuela's and Chile's | www.vcrisis.com

Any Brazilian reading this will understand what I mean when I say that it looks like Brazil is a fregues of France in more than just soccer.
