How to shake a Bush
If you're the leader of a Latin American country these days, it's not hard to get on the United States' bad side. First, it's helpful to have a history of working against the grain of U.S.-Latin American relations. Second, welcome the leader of an "evil" country for a state visit. Third, sign a number of cooperation agreements with said "evil" country, defend such country's nuclear ambitions, and proclaim solidarity with it in the face of U.S. aggression. And finally, it doesn't hurt to buy some weapons from Russia at the same time. Rejecting increased oil production in the face of rising prices can be helpful, too.
By the way, does anyone else find it interesting that one of the seven languages available on the IRNA website is Serbian? That's intriguing for any number of reasons.
