[A-List] Short on Köhler, IMF and FT

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hah! Financial Times is sometimes funny. So that Köhler has 
graciously granted Argentineans some years of respite? Well, what 
happened was that even the Argentinean church blamed the crisis on 
Köhler's IMF. Mr. Köhler's visit to Argentina was a very interesting 
experience, indeed.

For the first time in decades, even the President explained Köhler 
(as if he did not know it very well) that the IMF was the main 
culprit in what had happened to our country.

Köhler could only stammer and retort with a shy face that "the IMF 
has no legal power to force a country to follow the course that the 
country does not want to follow", or words to that effect.

Although all this may finally end up as gas in the air, at least the 
words from the Argentinean President were soothing. Up to now, 
Argentina did not negotiate. Now, Argentina negotiates. Still 
kneeling down, but negotiates.

Not the best scenario, but a better one than what we had had until 
Dec 2001. In fact, it would be a stupid blindness not to recognize 
that, thus far, this is all that those mobilizations and deaths have 
been useful to.
