Title- Shadows of the Past
Editorial in liberal in Folha de S.Paulo (2-6) says: "....The demand
for more protectionist measures are beginning to reappear in all
places - from the U.S. Senate to sectors of Brazilian society. This
idea is easily accepted stance but one that has proven itself to be
inefficient. Skirting its traps demands an urgent coordinated
global effort. Times of crisis, as one knows, are not appropriate
time for national resentment and pickiness [concerning
protectionism]. The situation is already sufficiently serious, for
old shadows to reappear and complicate it even more."
Title- Radicals defeated in Iraq
Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (2-6) states: "In the
upcoming days, when the official results of the vote conducted on
Sunday in 14 of the 18 Iraq provinces are released, we will know for
sure whether or not the optimistic analysis made were correct about
the evolution of the political scene in the country. Nevertheless,
the convergence of the predictions points to a very different ending
from the one suggested by preliminary data......Iraqis are very
anxious to see the authority of the central government reestablished
in order to have safety, jobs, electricity and water', wrote
Independent commentator Patrick Cockburn, from London. Lastly, the
results of the vote - to be confirmed - [also] represent a defeat
for Iran."
