SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; IRAN; MEETING BETWEEN BUSH AND LULA; 
04/03/07 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Weekend international stories include the impact of the capture of 
15 British soldiers on the status of the war against Iran; and the 
implications of the meeting between US President George W. Bush and 
Brazilian President Lula da Silva for Brazil's strategic interests. 
 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "A swap plan" 
 
Jorge Elias, daily-of-record "La Nacion's" international columnist, 
opines (04/01) "... Bush and Blair are wondering how to win the war 
without declaring war... And they are wondering how to react to the 
EU's unsympathetic reaction to the tragedy of 14 men and one woman 
captured in the delicate red line between a boiling war (Iraq) and a 
probable war (Iran). 
 
"Iran is harassing the international community - the foreign crisis 
has strengthened its domestic front and since it focused attention 
on urgent issues, it allowed mitigating suspicion on alleged support 
for Iraqi insurgents, which are close to Al Qaeda, and armed 
political parties, which are considered terrorists, in the hottest 
areas of the Middle East. 
 
"The prevailing tension is in (Iran's) favor, as well as timing and 
increasing oil prices. According to Plan A, if (Iran) is not bombed, 
it will eventually have the bomb, and once it has it, other 
countries will want to have their own bombs. As per Plan B, if Iran 
is bombed], Iran will not have the bomb, but other countries will 
use the possibility of having the bomb for blackmailing purposes. In 
one case or the other, the world will look increasingly unsafe. So 
much so that one and the others will only have one choice left - 
Plan C (tradeoff/swap plan)." 
 
- "Iran - Another Harvest for Western 'Hawks'" 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries an op-ed piece by Marcelo Cantelmi, its 
international editor, who writes (04/03) "... The entire military 
campaign against Iraq underlying that blurry 'anti-terrorist' war 
concept has had a business backdrop and it has been an attempt to 
extend the imperial arm and create a land aircraft carrier in the 
Middle East so that the US becomes a current player in the 
conflict... It is not hard to notice the depth of the losses 
suffered and what this defeat expresses... 
 
"... The capture of the 15 British soldiers could well end up with 
an Iranian victory. This should not be surprising. 'The Economist' 
magazine has warned that finally Iran 'has been the big winner of 
Bush's war,' something which, it is worth recalling, 'Clarin' has 
sustained in solitude for the last four years." 
 
- "An Encounter that Prioritizes Strategic Interests" 
 
Hugo Alconada Mon, Washington-based correspondent for 
daily-of-record "La Nacion," (04/01) writes "George W. Bush is 
radioactive. Both Democrats and Republicans alike run away from him 
when they think of running in the 2008 presidential elections. He 
has a very bad image in the US and outside of it for many reasons... 
Lula does not like him either. However, he decided to prioritize 
Brazil's permanent and strategic interests over his personal taste. 
 
"... It is good to remember that Bush is more than only Bush. Today 
and until January 2009, he epitomizes the presidency of the only 
military and economic superpower in the world. Lula understands this 
clearly and he is willing to work with him. 
 
"Academic Luis Bitencourt, from the Wilson Center Brazilian 
Institute, said 'prospects for a deal on ethanol are the key issue 
in all this...' 
 
"In spite of his obvious political weakness, Bush can still make the 
lives of his interlocutors easy or difficult. He could negotiate a 
deal on bio-fuels. He can open or close US markets a little bit 
further by granting or limiting preferential tariffs... He could 
influence the IMF and, in the Argentine case, he could facilitate 
(or not) negotiations with the Paris Club. 
 
"... Brazil wants much more than an alliance for bio-fuels. It wants 
to become the only 'leader of the region,' such as India, China, 
South Africa or Australia in other geopolitical areas ... and, a 
permanent seat at the UN Security Council. It will take years, and 
perhaps it will never attain it, but it is a long-term Brazilian 
strategic goal. 
 
"... Bush feels the need for showing results. In Latin America, this 
 
will have an impact for tangible benefits for anyone who knows how 
to sniff out that weakness and woo the White House. Peruvian Alan 
Garcia and Uruguayan Tabare Vazquez are walking this road. And Lula 
is leading the march." 
 
- "The US Wants Brazil to 'Put a Brake on the Disobedient'" 
 
Eleonora Gosman, Sao Paulo-based correspondent for leading "Clarin," 
penned (04/01) "... (US President) George W. Bush again confirmed 
for Lula that Brazil is a key piece in the US foreign strategy due 
to the 'enormous influence of this nation' ... However, Bush did not 
want to publicly and explicitly support Brazil's entry into the UN 
Security Council. 
 
"... Nevertheless, the lack of major announcements do not cloud the 
US decision to make Brazil a 'privileged interlocutor' in Latin 
America. Mexico distanced itself from the region and Colombia does 
not have enough weight for the mission. That is why Bush 'trusts' 
that Lula will play a moderating role vis-`-vis regional processes 
like those led by Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales and Rafael Correa and to 
a lesser extent by Nestor Kirchner. In this framework the US is 
working to consolidate a 'very strong alliance' with Brazil that 
will serve as a counterweight to the axis of the 'disobedient.'"
