Castro II: Watching, Wary of Venezuela
Chavez Stokes Confrontation Over U.S. Role in Venezuela
Well, while we're off in Iraq, we've got a little trouble brewing down in South America. A new tin-pot(ish) strong man in Venezuela. He's bullying his neighbors and using Kim Jung Il like rhetoric to keep his folks in line. (Can you imagine living in a country where the President uses fear to rally the masses?)
Anyway, this is not good for the U.S. or South America in the long term.
