Brazil Will Not Help Venezuela with Iran Nuclear Program

Fortunately Venezuela's neighbors are not following Hugo Chavez's lead in helping Iran with its nuclear program.

Hugo Chavez's South American neighbors were taken aback by the Venezuelan president's suggestion over the weekend that they work jointly with Iran to develop a nuclear power capacity. Brazil moved quickly to quash the idea, saying it was open to cooperation with Venezuela, but wanted no part of any deal involving Iran.

As I mentioned a few days ago, it appears that Venezuela is trying to establish its own nuclear program. It's good to see there is still some sanity elsewhere in Latin America.
