ARGENTINA; PAKISTAN 11/05/07 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Weekend international stories include the Bush administration's 
policy on Cuba; Venezuelan President Chavez's concentration of 
power; IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn's remarks about 
Argentina; and implications of Pakistani leader Musharraf's 
emergency rule. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Bush and Cuba" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" (11/03) carries an op-ed story by Carlos 
Fuentes, writer, who opines "Americans call an outgoing president 
that cannot be reelected a 'lame duck.' At this point in his failed 
presidency, one could say that George W. Bush does not even have 
'wings.' What he does have is blind arrogance, self-ignoring 
ignorance and the mistaken idea that he owns universal kindness. 
 
"When Bush came to power, he said: 'The US is the only surviving 
example of human progress.' Hence, the unilateralist arrogance with 
which the fatal Bush administration took over... 
 
"What's happening is that the 'international community' is burying 
Bush's unilateralist dream... However, some matters allow Bush to 
believe that he can behave as though the world had not changed. One 
of them is Cuba... 
 
"... Two threats hang over the Cuban transition- the less important 
threat is posed by a regime that is louder than enduring, that of 
Hugo Chavez, who is claiming that Cuba and Venezuela are the very 
same nation. 
 
"Evidently, the larger threat is posed by Bush's imperial defiance 
on the eve of departure. Incredibly mistaken, Bush is using all the 
tools to frustrate (or at least delay) Cuba's transition - he is 
encouraging Miami exiles to replace the current regime on the 
island, inciting Cuban armed forces to betray the regime, 
reiterating the policy of sanctions on Cuba..., refusing to grant 
the Cuban regime what he provides to other communist regimes, like 
China and Vietnam (investment, dialogue, diplomacy, respect). Bush 
lashes out at Cuba for being a concentration camp, thereby 
forgetting that the worst prison on the island is the US base in 
Guantanamo. He does nothing but offer Cuba a veiled threat - that it 
could again be a US colony. 
 
"... To Bush's arrogance, Latin America should respond with weapons 
of reason, caution, diplomacy, negotiation and respect for the Cuban 
people." 
 
- "Democracy" 
 
Marcelo Cantelmi, international editor of leading "Clarin," writes 
(11/05) "We should open our eyes wide. If we closely observe the 
Chavist reform, (we see that) it will increase the social balance, 
which is badly needed in a country with a lot of problems. But an 
imbalance is triggered by this concentration of power that scares 
even those within partisan ranks. 
 
"Why so much concentration of power? Leaders and their programs 
should be measured by their ability to change, that is to evolve. 
 
"Whether Chavez acknowledges it or not, the total sum of power he 
demands clearly implies a severe limitation on that ability to 
change. Or, as some world leftist leaders have put it (some of them 
admired by Chavez himself), there cannot be true socialism without 
true democracy." 
 
- "Now that Strauss-Kahn takes over, he says he wants to see 
Cristina's plans" 
 
Ana Baron, leading "Clarin's" Washington-based correspondent, writes 
(11/03) "During election campaigns, candidates can promise many 
things. However, the moment of truth has arrived, and the brand new 
IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn went right to the 
point. In response to a question from 'Clarin,' Strauss-Kahn 
explained that 'in order to negotiate its Paris Club debt,' 
Argentina will need 'IMF approval.' And he added: 'What I expect now 
is to see what the new Argentine government will say on economics, 
and what kind of economic policy the new president will implement.' 
 
"In other words, Strauss-Kahn wants to know Cristina Kirchner's 
economic program before deciding whether the IMF can 'approve' 
Argentina's renegotiation of its six-billion-dollar Paris Club 
debt. 
 
"This means that the new IMF head expects some change in 
 
(Argentina's) economic policy; not only this. 
 
"When 'Clarin' asked him whether Argentina will need an IMF 
arrangement to start negotiating its Paris Club debt, or whether 
there will be some flexibility on this, Strauss-Kahn confessed he 
will not decide that. 
 
"... (Strauss-Kahn) warned that 'without (an) IMF (arrangement), 
there will not be any negotiation of the country's Paris Club debt, 
and without the latter investors will not be able to access adequate 
lines of credit, and without investment, the country's economic 
growth will stall.'" 
 
- "An obstacle" 
 
Paula Lugones, leading "Clarin's" international columnist, writes 
(11/05) "With his self-coup d'etat, Musharraf has turned into 
something much worse than an uncomfortable ally for Washington. 
 
"In addition to a serious diplomatic retreat..., the White House has 
already felt the impact. Joseph Biden, head of the Senate's Foreign 
Relations Committee and Democratic presidential pre-candidate, said 
yesterday that the Bush administration does not have a concrete 
policy on Pakistan and that it is paying the price of flattering 
Musharraf at the expense of democracy in the country. 
 
"Conditions worsened for the US yesterday - how can it continue 
betting on a coup maker who imprisons opponents and defenders of 
human rights? Of course, it is not the first time, but for someone 
who brags about being a world anti-terrorist leader and a 'defender 
of freedom,' it is a serious obstacle."
