Nuke diplomacy

UN inspectors forbidden from seeing a nuclear plant. Sounds like Iraq doesn't it? But no, it's Brazil who won't let them into the facility at Resende.

I doubt the Americans will take the route they did in the Middle East. Far more likely that behind-the-scenes discussions will go on, as they have in North Korea.

But it certainly won't endear Lula and his government to George Bush; should make discussions on the UN Security Council (where Brazil and America are both members) interesting.

What do you think? Let me know.
