I agree with fab that Brazil has a pretty hypocritical foreign policy, they want to fill the void in the countries where the US doesn't have a lot of influence right now. That means being cozy with Chavez and with Iran (the latter is not something well regarded here in Argentina since we are accusing the Iranian government of masterminding our 2 worst terrorist attacks on our soil) while talking about democracy and "first world imperialism". I'm always weary of countries that get close to being world powers because foreign policy is mostly about promoting your interests around the world and the more powerful you are the more you screw other less powerful countries to get what you want.
So I'm not too comfortable having a huge country like Brazil with a lot of power next to my country. of course there are some benefits but i wonder how long will they take before meddling in every south American countries business.
A Colombia - Lebanon final would have been interesting.
Brazil will be my next 2 vote if we can get rid of UK first.
