“You can’t leave some one who is nuts on the loose” Brazilian Lula da Silva allegedly argued before the European Union insisting that is why “links with Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad must be maintained, to have him under control”.

Lula da Silva then added that is why “Brazil keeps close links with Venezuela’s Chavez”.

“Here in Europe you can’t leave someone who is nuts on the loose, you must travel to Iran to control the man (Ahmadinejad) at least once every four months”, allegedly President Lula da Silva told a European leader, writes O’Globo.
“That’s what I do with Chavez: every now and then I stop by in Venezuela”
