Business As Usual

And just for the record, the USA is NOT planning to establish a permanent military base in Paraguay. And it certainly won't be at Mariscal Estigarribia in the Chaco region, close to the border with Bolivia. So what if Paraguayan Vice-President Luis Castigliani did meet with Dick Cheney in July? Who cares if US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited Paraguay in August? And so what if there are plans to open an FBI office in the US embassy in Asuncion next year? Do you really think the fact that neigbouring governments are becoming increasingly left-wing (and anti-US, and successful to boot) could have anything to with it? Come on! It's nothing... Trust us.
