re: #399 Gus 802

You heard that Fernandez was diagnosed with thyroid cancer? That makes for four South American leaders with cancer now: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Venezuela.

So, basically a quarter of South American heads of state?

How many people develop some form of cancer during their lives? One in three in the UK.

Let me just say that there are a hell of a lot of factors I would look to before thinking that the United States is secretly sticking needles in these folks. (Also, our strategy seems odd. Do we really dislike Kirchner, for example, enough to kill her? With a treatable form of cancer?)
