Probably by the same reason they think the spoken language in Brazil is spanish, you see, "buenos, aires", purely spanish, so... it should be in Brazil. Even that, or they think that trading Buenos Aires economy by Rio de Janeiro's violence would result in the same mess. Either case, perhaps it is time to start doing confusion between Rio de Janeiro and Baghdad, you never know if the missing bullet will cross in front of you, behind you or right through you. The guns are similar, AK-47, AR-15, etc. So, remember, Baghdad is in Iraq (great oil), Rio de Janeiro is in Brazil (great marine landscape), Buenos Aires in Argentina (great vine). Wagner Luis A.
