Very well writen and thoughtout comments dealing with a Latin connection to terrorism. Terrorism against Jews I am sad to say come mostly from "Christians" at least in Argentina and Brazil. Paraguay has long been a "boogey man" and an unfortunate whipping boy of so-called Nazi hunters. Seems Doc Mengle was in Brazil all the time living on the edge of poverty. I find it odd that the finest intelligence agency on earth could not find this man. Perhaps he was more valuable as mystery man who kept past events alive in the media and enforced other agendas?
Many migrants to Argentina and Brazil are Caldean Lebanese and Iraqi exiles. If you are looking for "terrorists" these folks are not to be feared. I have never heard of capitalists who are terrorists and these migrants are people of commerce. Anti-Semite actions in Argentina are rooted in Peronista politics. Peron always had the Jewish business community to beat up on as did previous administrations in this Catholic country.
The Latin connection in terrorism that is of concern to me does not come from Paraguay, Argentina or Brazil. IMHO a marriage of convenience between the narco states and terrorists is what I would suggest would be something the narco states could find useful in moving product into the U.S. and Europe. Terrorists could keep homeland sucurity and customs too busy to properly interdict the small supply of drugs they are presently getting. |
