Go Brazil

I'm probably not alone in thinking the new USA policy of fingerprinting and photographing foreign visitors is just a tad racist. I'm sure most of the US blogs I visit would agree (they're all good people, I've read their posts). Wake up USA (Bush administration) Europe has Black people too, and 'Ay-rab' (do not read Muslim) terrorists.

With this in mind, I applaud Brazil. They have an appalling human rights record, but on this issue they've got it absolutely right. Go Brazil.

I mean what I say about reading blogs. I have been genuinely moved by the intelligence and level of debate I read. It really has changed my view of how ordinary Americans engage with the world. Although it has to be said they're probably the more thoughtful end of the bell curve, much like we try to distance ourselves from the average Sun reader. Am now going to watch West Wing. I like those people too, even if they're not real.
