Bloggers of the world unite and take over (part 2)

With our 1000^th post of the year, we will once again focus on several recent blog posts that have caught our attention. Enjoy!

• Forgive me for being opinionated, but I absolutely cringe at the notion of a third term for Colombian president Alvaro Uribe.
• This is globalization: U.S. politicians are upset that Chinese steel is being used to build the barrier along the border with Mexico.
• Exploring the difference between Latino versus Hispanic.
• Should Congress approve a free trade pact with Peru? One blogger thinks not.
• One gringa’s great advice to attending soccer games in Argentina includes “manage your fear of fire” and “cheer like a madman (even when you have no allegiance to the other team.”
• Is the military claim that Islamic terrorists have made significant inroads in Latin America real or hot air?
• Lastly, how to hack into the blogosphere in Cuba: impersonate foreign tourists online.
