I think we have to put things in perspective: 400 people were killed/disappeared by the military in Brazil. Argentina: 30.000, Chile: 2300; Guatemala: 40.000 to 200.000. It is a positive sign if Brazilian govt. serisously wants tot deal with its past political crimes. It took the Dutch govt. more than 60 years to officially say sorry for exterminating all men of the Rawagede village in Indonesia during its colonial regime...
