Aztec Language

matt16 — Fri, 04 May 2007 23:43:36 +0000

Mexico city officials have planned to make it a requirement in the Mexico City schools that studnets mustr take courses in the ancient Aztec language of Nahuatl. This is seen as a step in insuring that this language is not last from lack of speakers. This is an important step on the officials part becaues it shows the people that this is an important part of their culture, and it will help to ensure that the language is not lost.

oil

Recently Hugo Chavez has taken control over alot of the oil fields of Venezuela. According to BBC it also seems that he placed a huge tax on the companies who are working in the region. Without the comapnies support will Venezuela be able to continue to make a large profit off of their oil?

Putin

It seems interesting that the police in Russia broke up the demonstration that took place in Russia last week. Is Russia truly a open society? Does the Russian government truly encourage people to exercise their rights to protest the government?

Is there any way to strengthen the relations between the U.S. and South America? When Bush’s term is up will the U.S. be able to have good relations w/latin america

South America

There has been much speculation in trhe news as to which way South America is or is going to “lean” is it going to become more Chavez like or is it going to follow the U.S.

Not much on Hugo lately

I wonder if the British crew capture has effected Hugo’s relationship with Iran

Castro

matt16 — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 06:51:11 +0000

Fidel Castro is reported to be getting better. Even though the USSR has fallen and Communism is not really viewed as a threat to the “free world” of today the U.S. has insisted on keeping a trade embargo on Cuba. Is the embargo at all effective?

Iran nuclear

matt16 — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 06:48:31 +0000

Iran recentally anounced a nuclear breakthrough. Oviousally the United States is not happy abot it, is there much that the United States can do about it?

Iran2
