This is a new world report with Professor Avinellis of the U.S. Army War College.

Javier Malay is the Beatles haircut-wearing champion of libertarians in Argentina, and

he's polling very well towards the election next in October against his two rivals,

one representing the Paranistas, the establishment, the other representing security.

Avinellis turning into a spectacular campaigner.

I see him parading through the streets of Buenos Aires with a gigantic hundred dollar bill

with his picture on it, saying he'll chainsaw away the currency, some other metaphorical example

of what he can do. Your opinion now of the way he's campaigning is if he has the solution,

dollarize the economy and deal with the debt. Is that something that he can sell to the legislature?

You remind me that the last government that it wasn't Paranista was considerably constrained

by not having a sympathetic legislature. We have a couple of minutes.

Well, this has always been a dilemma, John, the issue of connecting with voters on style versus

substance. Argentine voters are clearly fed up. Again, you have inflation, which is going to be

over 130 percent this year. You have massive economic difficulties, which seem to come,

of this government, which seem to come on top of the massive economic difficulties of the

Mauricio mockering government that they thought that they pushed out of office a couple of years ago.

Argentine's are just fed up. Someone who shouts and can introduce vulgarities and is colorful

and seems to have a platform which is very different. It appeals primarily to lower income voters,

younger voters, and others. If one goes back to the history of what is fundamentally

libertarianism in the United States, there are a number of interesting ideas, the idea of

decreasing the size of government, decreasing some of the controls that the government, whether it's
