BRASILIA (Reuters) - The United States needs to drop its preoccupation with left-wing leaders in Latin America and play a bigger role in helping developing the region's economy, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Thursday.
"The United States needs to understand that the Cold War is over, this issue of who is Communist and who isn't, is over," Lula said when asked about the rivalry between Venezuela and the United States during a television interview. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN2743566220070928
