Si mal no estoy, Myles Frechette fue un embajador estadinense en
Colombia quien no hizo muchos amigos. Y si esto es cierto, me pregunto
que hace esta fundacion tratando de envolverlo en 'desarrollar
democracia en Colombia' ?
Ahora tremenda noticia, me parece a mi, descubrir que latinoamericanos
deberian ser los lideres en el desarrollo de latinoamerica. Parece que
alquien descubrio el agua mojada en Washington DC.
Hace a�os el sentido comun (por lo menos en USA) fue cambiado por grados
universitarios en el area metropolitana en Washington DC. Parece que
lentamente esta volviendo a aparecer esto ya que los libros y grados
universitarios quedan muy cortos ante situaciones de la vida real.
Saludos,
Dario
