-Caveat Lector- Having been in Argentina during those turbulent events, I have to say parts of this article are very inaccurate.
The streets were not "filled with the bodies of those shot dead", although it seemed to our hearts, there were much too many, there where 28 dead as the result of looting, riots and police repression. Middle class didn't joined an "underclass popular rebellion" better to be called plain looting product of extreme poverty and a bit of manipulation, the middle class went to the streets with their families absolutely without violence to express their disagreement with the politicians mediocrity and their failure to conduct the nation's destiny. By the time extremists joined the protest, late that night, and with the first signs of violence, the immense majority retired back to their homes, to avoid this protest being associated with vandalism. >>In an effort to inject some semblance of cash into the economy and allow people to buy things like bread, the new president has announced >>the creation of a new currency, the argentino. This currency will join the peso and the dollar in January as the third form of legal >>> The idea of the argentino was not to "allow people to buy things like bread"!, (!!!!). Was simply a medium to help the way of a controlled devaluation. This is now just an idea, never came true. The peso has been devaluated today from 1 to 1 to 1.4 to 1. >>The old government didn't fall easily. In the face of universal outrage and days of street protests, somebody ordered the police to >> >>respond with live ammunition.

This is accurate. >>The specter of a new dictatorship to once again "rescue" Argentina looms on the horizon. While ordinary Argentineans see their net worth Does not...citizenship maturity arises. Seems like many journalist would like to picture the people of this country as in the middle of a dramatic civil war walking the streets with torches trying to flame everything, the real picture is less "yellowish" but much more dramatically, it's the people telling their leaders you are mediocre stop stealing and start building back. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
