Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of running into the Brazillian Women's Basketball team here in Prague, that coupled with the recent Brazillian elections has gotten me reinterested in Brazil. I have tended to agree with most that Lula is the first Brazillian President who mattered on the global scene. This good FT article coupled with some other reportage they have done recently makes the case that his predecessor Fernando Henrique Cardoso is equally important. The article is so good and well written it qualifies it is practically Brazil in one leasson.
