Yesterday, Dilma Rousseff was elected Brazil's first female President. She served as Lula de Silva's chief of staff for five years and was his handpicked successor. In her youth, Rousseff was a Marxist guerrilla.
I don't know if that is what had Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad grinning from ear to ear but when he lavishes praise on a newly elected head of state that can't be good. We need to watch her very, very carefully. The last thing we need is another acolyte of the Ahmadinejad-Chavez axis.
One can only hope that Ahmadinejad has badly misread her. Yet I suspect he has not.
