michael, if history is an indicator there will be a lot of talk from all sides about initiating the Las Cristinas up until the election...buckle your seatbelt...

if kry can hang in there (financially) until after september i think there's a good chance the new NA will get this thing going and will be leaning toward a more "business friendly environment". kry should also have a much easier time of obtaining financing/partners/etc.. i really believe this is what everyone is waiting for......

i have no faith in hugo to actually get anything done...also, i think the number one reason khan was brought in was to try and hide the money that was stolen from the basic companies while sanz was at the helm...
