Global inflation
That is only just above mid-2005 – and no one worried about replacing wallets with wheelbarrows then. Add on Brazil, Russia, India and China – the Bric nations – so that three-quarters of world output is included, and inflation was 4.1 per cent in February. That is a long, long way from the mid-teen levels seen as recently as the mid-1990s..."

The Colonel in his laberynth
"The strange case of Hugo Chavez and a rebel laptop"The cover of the Peruvian magazine Caretas features a photo-montage of Colonel Chavez with a portable computer covering his private parts. The headline: 'Laptop left him naked. That would be the purported rebel laptop found during this month's Colombian military strike on a rebel encampment in neighboring Ecuador.

Andrés Oppenheimer and Raúl Reyes´ computers
”Sería extremadamente difícil, si no imposible, que alguien plantara evidencias después del hecho sin dejar rastros”, me dijo Jason Paroff, director del departamento forense de computación de Kroll Ontrack Inc., una de las empresas de recuperación de datos más grandes del mundo, con sede en Minneapolis. “Si alguien hubiera plantado pruebas, el equipo de Interpol lo descubriría”.
Oppenheimer concluye que "hay dos posibilidades. O Uribe está loco al invitar a Interpol a autenticar los archivos de las computadoras, y debería pagar las consecuencias políticas si resulta que mintió, o Chávez y Correa muy pronto quedarán expuestos ante el mundo como mentirosos compulsivos y aliados de un grupo terrorista. Hagan sus apuestas."
Sobre la destrucción "inevitable" de las PCs, según las FARC, la respuesta es obvia: Si sobrevivieron muchas personas (más de 30) por que no las PCs...

Bad company
I believed Piedad was a bad company for Colonel Chavez, but it looks like the reverse has taken place.According to a colombian magazine: "... Piedad Córdoba pasa por uno de los momentos más difíciles de su carrera política. Su papel como mediadora con las Farc para un Acuerdo Humanitario, y su alianza con el presidente venezolano para ese fin, le han costado mucho. Desde noviembre, según Invamer-Gallup, su imagen negativa se triplicó -pasó de 32% a 69%- y la positiva cayó a la mitad: de 42% a 20%..."

Worst every day
Opinion Polls show that now Venezuelans find Hugo Chavez responsible for almost every important problem. It reminds me of CAP in 1992: Every thing was CAP´s fault. The adverse opinions are 2:1 and the mayority of those surveyed lost confidence in the guy´s capacity to solve problems or to govern the country. The Ecuador-Colombia crisis was his final nail.
Polls are in "El Nacional" and "El Nuevo País"...

I made the same question
By SIMON ROMERO
The crisis over a Colombian military raid in Ecuador was resolved Friday, but it is clear that nearly all of the players involved lost something.
Look at today International Herald Tribune.

Colombia and its "vecinos"
One poll, by Hinterlaces, showed 89% opposed to a war and 87% opposed to the FARC. So the reason for his military mobilisation may be to deter Colombia from moving against the FARC camps in Venezuela where some Colombian officials believe that Mr Marulanda is based.
A more worrying, though improbable, hypothesis is that Mr Chávez, a former army officer, is throwing off all pretence at being a civilian democrat and, fearing that he may not remain in power for long, wants to launch an assault on what he sees as American imperialism and its regional stooge, Mr Uribe.
Although George Bush gave public support to Mr Uribe, other governments in the region, led by Brazil, tried to drive a wedge between Mr Correa and Mr Chávez. There were signs that this might work.
On March 5th Ecuador agreed to an OAS resolution criticising but not formally condemning Colombia. The OAS also agreed to investigate the bombing. Once the region's diplomats have patched things up between these two countries they face another, more intractable problem: Mr Chávez, still with oil money but politically on the defensive, may have thrown in his lot with an outlaw army of drug-traffickers.
