>No posters of the Congo or Sudan?

I haven't seen much of this in the local news. But then, I should have added, for completeness sake, that I didn't look much at the local news recently. If I want to know what goes on in other countries, I look at international news sources anyway - with cable television, we have access to CNN and EuroNews, among others.

The international news section on the local television is usually rather short, so that is the reason that I prefer CNN or EuroNews.

>>>Can someone tell me why the government of Brazil does not seem to care about the citizens of Iraq? For years, we have read and heard stories about the torture and rape of innocent Iraqi civilians, but the Brazilian government dud not seem to care. Now why are increasing seeing and hearing reports of Iraqi citizens welcoming coalition troops. Why doesn't Brazil seem to care about people outside its borders? Is it that Brazilians only care about football (soccer) and are unconcerned about the plight of people in less fortunate countries? Or is this just the government of Brazil and not it's people?

>>I can't tell about Brazil, but once again, I suspect the situation is similar as in Bolivia, or other Latin American countries.

>>The newspapers show a lot about the suffering of the war victims, especially civilians. Probably much more than you will see in the U.S.

>>So you see, people here do care about human suffering, but the emphasis is different from what you would probably prefer.

>>Well, that is the newspaper - I haven't seen any official declaration by Goni (1). I suspect he is more pro-U.S., but I am not sure.
>>
>>One more detail, to show you that Bolivian's do care about suffering of others: On the central square of Cochabamba, you can every day see posters that expose the cruelty of the war, outrages about the "unjustified invastion" by the "yankees" (2) and Britons, and similar topics.
