Ahmadinejad

Iran's leader got backing in friendly Bolivia. He inaugurated an Iranian-funded hospital and two milk-processing plants on Tuesday in a goodwill visit in which his leftist host defended Iran's "peaceful" nuclear aspirations. Ahmadinejad and Bolivian President Evo Morales signed an agreement in which Iran committed itself to help Bolivia investigate industrializing lithium. That is the lightweight metal used in electric car and other batteries. Bolivia is a poor country but they possess half of the world's know lithium reserves. No wonder Ahmadinejad is so nice to Bolivia.
