Just came across your comments. Do you actually think that we ever had a chance of finding a solution to our problems with Chile via multi-lateral means? Lagos nor any of the candidates running for the Chilean presidency (Lavin or Alvear among them) will be pressured in this matter. I am bolivian and want nothing more than to one day swim in a bolivian ocean but because of my work and the nature of it, I have been around Chileans of all levels (politicians and business people) and understand their mentality. Chileans have over taken the Argentines as the “new rich and successful kid on the block” and will not be pressured, least of all by Bolivia. Mesa was clearly misadvised by his specialists.
