Both Sides Now
Brazilian President Lula da Silva and President Bush will be meeting in DC today to discuss free trade, a conversation I’d set my Tivo to if I knew what channel it was on, or had a Tivo. These guys couldn’t be more opposite each other if they were, well, Bush and Chirac.
But enough about their differences. I’m hoping that even if Bush disagrees with Lula on most things, that he hears the guy out. After all, the Brazilian leader has some interesting things to say about social justice and has already made a pretty bold move to control Brazilian government spending by making a shift to Open Source Software.
If any of that rubs off on ‘ol GW, it would be a good thing.
