The Mediator

Two interesting quotes from a recent interview The Economist made to Brazil’s President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva:

The first one is about Chavez and Bush: “Chavez is convinced that a coup attempt against him was organized to benefit American interests. President Bush doesn’t accept that. This will be resolved only if they talk”.

The second is dedicated to Evo Morales, but also applies to his suggestion of a meeting between Chavez and Bush: “Between theory and practice there is a gulf bigger than the Atlantic Ocean”.
