SUBJECT: IRAQ-IRAN; CHAVEZ; ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES; 01/12/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
All local dailies report on the wave of domestic and international 
criticism unleashed by US President Bush's plan to send additional 
US troops to Iraq. Papers also cover the US blow to the Iranian 
consulate in Erbil; the Chavez administration's 'totalitarianism'; 
and  environmental degradation. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES 
 
- "Why?" 
 
Paula Lugones, international columnist of leading "Clarin," writes 
(01/12) "The increasing influence of the Iranian theocratic regime 
on Iraq's Shiites is well-known. This was one of the clear 
consequences of Saddam's downfall and the US invasion. 
 
"However, if Iran has had a low profile in this conflict so far and 
the major confrontation between Tehran and Washington has been 
related to the nuclear issue, why did the US decide to 'provoke it'? 
Why, when the entire world recommends talking with Iran? It is not 
mere chance that the blow to the consulate coincided with the 
announcement that additional troops will be sent (to Iraq). George 
W. Bush could be seeking to spread the conflict in order to justify 
his unpopular war policy. Nonetheless, Iran has the greatest Army in 
the region and a powerful influence in the Middle East. One should 
not play with Iran." 
 
- "Chavez, a dismantled model" 
 
Daily of-record "La Nacion" carries an op-ed story by writer Marcos 
Aguinis, who says (01/12) "He was labeled as 'crazy,' 'tropical 
parrot,' hooligan,' but those terms are not enough to describe his 
powerful image. He has controlled Venezuela since December 1998, he 
wants to become the anti-US reference point for the world, influence 
the destiny of Latin America and establish a 21st century Socialism. 
Therefore, he does not mind having dropped his country into the most 
corrupt period of its corrupt history... 
 
"He obtained the support of his people thanks to the high level of 
inefficiency, lack of responsibility and robbery in which the 
Venezuelan political leadership ended up... He won again the 
elections, in which impunity was so patent that they did not even 
bother to disguise the fraud." 
 
- "The environmental debt" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" carries an op-ed story by contributor 
Jorge Coscia, who opines (01/12) "... Developing countries are the 
most affected by environmental degradation as a result of the 
transfer of contaminating technologies from industrialized 
countries. 
 
"The message received by the leaders of neighboring countries is 
brief and clear - either you accept those type of investments or 
subject your citizens to unemployment and stagnation... 
 
"... Contrary to what happens in the economic field, developing 
countries are environmental creditors of their financial creditors. 
 
"A global solution is badly needed to protect the environment. 
Double standards are unacceptable. Environment should be protected 
in both developed and developing countries. 
 
"... While it is true that our societies justly claim that new job 
opportunities be created, and this would involve higher investment, 
it is also true that the price could be too high." 
 
3. EDITORIALS 
 
- "Chavez tilts towards totalitarianism" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" editorializes (01/12) "The controversial 
president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, is again the center of the 
regional scenario for having disturbed the international community. 
 
"... After two terms in office during which he destroyed the 
principle of separation of powers, concentrated full political 
authority, subjected the constitutional court, the electoral justice 
and the judiciary all over his country, and launched a dangerous 
arms race, he has just announced that he will swiftly lead Venezuela 
into socialism; which implies building a new political, social and 
economic system for his country. 
 
"For this purpose, he announced a second reform of the Venezuelan 
Constitution because the previous one, promoted by Chavez himself, 
perhaps does not appear proper for a clear turn towards a 
totalitarian regime." 
 
- "A controversial plan for Iraq" 
 
An editorial in conservative "La Prensa" reads (01/12) "It is a fact 
that President George W. Bush's announced offensive to put the war 
on a safe track will be the last action before the transfer of power 
to Iraqis in a kind of protected democracy, or before total collapse 
and US troop withdrawal, which will be just as ominous and 
humiliating as in Vietnam. As if it were a poker game, the head of 
the White House decided to raise the stakes by trying more of the 
same and disregard the blunt message of the November elections, the 
view of Democratic leaders and Baker-Hamilton's suggestions. This is 
also a reassertion of the unilateral stance of the only world 
superpower, which in spite of being the guiding light towards 
freedom for the rest of the world, it cannot resolve alone such 
complex and broad problems like those in the Middle East... 
 
"Bush's new plan has been overwhelmingly rejected by the US people 
and condemnation by Islamic public opinion while the EU showed 
skepticism. Not even loyal UK gave substantial support to his plan. 
It is not good news that the isolation of the 'only vital country in 
the world' has increased.' (Madeleine Albright quoted)."
