SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: SOUTH AND CENTRAL ASIA: IRAN'S NUCLEAR 
PROGRAM; WESTERN HEMISPHERE: PRESIDENT BUSH'S UPCOMING VISIT TO 
LATAM NATIONS; SAO PAULO 
 
 
1. "How To Negotiate With Tehran's Astuteness" 
 
Center-right national circulation daily O Estado de S. Paulo's Paris 
correspondent commented (2/27): "The UN Security Council members' 
meeting in London to discuss a new resolution against Tehran's 
tricks is affected by two uncertainties: the Europeans' fear that 
the US's tougher posture in regards to Iran's nuclear plans may lead 
to the bombing of Tehran's nuclear installations. The second 
uncertainty: Iran has opted for absolute intransigency (Mahmud 
Ahmadinejad's position) or for accommodation.... Ahmadinejad has 
reaffirmed that his nuclear program is 'irreversible.' The London 
meeting should quickly reach an agreement and determine much tougher 
sanctions against a nation that cynically defies international laws. 
But, as frequently happens, Tehran has sent calming signs.... 
Information coming from Iran has obscured somewhat the ideas that 
Western diplomats have about that nation. According to witnesses and 
journalists, the Iranian society is agitated and far from supporting 
Ahmadinejad's positions.... In such a 'shadow theater,' where 
everything is dissimulation and appearance, how can one know what 
the truth is? This is a problem being faced by the London meeting: 
how to negotiate with someone who changes their mask every minute?" 
 
2. "The Rhetoric of 'Ethanol OPEC'" 
 
Center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (2/27) editorialized: "Brazilians 
tend to overestimate the range of international relations events 
that involve Brazil. President Bush's upcoming visit to Sao Paulo 
next week seems to be one such event from which one may expect with 
irrational optimism unusual benefits for the national interest. In 
order to prevent future disappointment, it would be better to 
moderate expectations about the purposes and results of Bush's quick 
visit. Experience suggests a cautious analysis of the evaluations 
carried out by interested sectors according to which the reason for 
the presidential visit is to create a biofuel partnership with 
Brazil, or an 'ethanol OPEC'.... This is not the primary reason for 
Bush's visit to Sao Paulo. His trip, not limited to Brazil, is above 
all an attempt to repair Washington's negligent, and often rough, 
treatment given to Latin America.... Bush yielded his Latin American 
policy to some of the most intractable hawks of the Republican 
administration.... With Condoleezza Rice in the State Department, 
the US attitude before its continental neighbors has once again 
become friendly - and more intelligent in its priority to halt 
Chavez's influence. In the case of Brazil, ethanol is a very 
opportune way to foster such a good neighbor policy, which has been 
reinforced by the surprisingly friendly personal understanding 
between Bush and Lula.  But this is not enough to make one believe 
that the rhetoric of the ethanol OPEC will make the US effectively 
open its market to the Brazilian product.... The US independence 
from oil that Bush has mentioned is a 'political myth,' former Saudi 
Ambassador in Washington Turki a-Faisal said. It is still not 
possible to disagree with him." 
 
3. "Saint Ethanol" 
 
Political columnist Eliane Cantanhede opined in liberal, largest 
national circulation daily Folha de S. Paulo (2/27): "Without the US 
wealth and political power, and without Chavez's petrodollars and 
expansionist frenzy, Brazil has just discovered powder, i.e. 
ethanol. This is the weapon the Lula administration is using to come 
closer to the US and to reinforce its presence among South American 
neighbors. The US fears being dependent on Middle Eastern oil, which 
suffers from chronic and acute crises, as well as on the product it 
imports from the formerly docile Venezuela.  Therefore, there is an 
enormous interest by the Bush administration, the business and 
academic sectors and the US society in general for alternative 
fuels.... On top of alternative sources, ethanol has become not only 
a good economic, but perhaps mainly political, promise. Let us say 
that ethanol represents for Brazil what oil represents for Chavez, 
considering the due proportions.  In practice, Uruguay wants to 
partner with the US, which wants to partner with Brazil, which wants 
to partner with Uruguay. A link for the chain may be ethanol, which 
will be the focus of Lula and Bush's agenda in Sao Paulo on March 9, 
as it was in the Brazilian president's conversations with Tabar 
Vzquez yesterday in Uruguay. Vzquez, who threatened to sign a 
bilateral agreement with the US, wants more attention from Mercosul 
and Brazil not to do so. One of the advantages it will obtain may be 
the construction of an ethanol plant - with Brazilian technology and 
financing, of course."
