Anti-American schadenfreude from ‘new economies’

Folks like Brazil, ground down one too many times under the heel of the International Monetary Fund, and relatively decoupled from the U.S. meltdown, are enjoying the moment with quiet — or Apparently, that also applied to troops helicoptering in, as Pakistani soldiers reportedly not so quiet — relish.
Asked about the crisis, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian president, said: “What crisis? Go ask Bush.”

Beyond the serious snow job of Czar Henry I, this level of schadenfreude is funny as hell.
