How the West could learn from Lula's way of playing politics.As much as Washington was visibly annoyed, it could do nothing to prevent Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from visiting Brazil's President Lula as part of his 5-country African and South American tour. Feathers could not but be ruffled, argues Pepe Escobar, at the sight of closer cooperation between the biggest Latin American regional power and one of the Middle East's top regional powers. The warm embrace Lula ofered Ahmadinejad will echo across the developing world as a sign that South/South diplomacy play may have more merits than the heavy-handed US/European approach.
