With all the hoopla going on about Iraq, Iran and Korea we are missing problems growing closer to home. Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have been playing nice together and this is not a good thing for us. Why we didn't take that cockroach, Castro, out long ago is beyond me. I suppose people thought he was insignificant and harmless, well here you go.
Chavez sells Castro cheap oil and Castro sends doctors, teachers and others to Venezuela.
Now, Chavez is threatening to beef up his military by buying sophisticated Russian migs etc. in case he is attacked by the US. One US senior administration official was quoted as saying, "We shoot down migs".
He visited Saddam while he was still in power (we should arrange for them to be roomies very soon) and opposed the war in Iraq. His reaction to the US assistance in removing Aristide from Haiti was to call Bush a pendejo. He is aiding Colombian rebels and generally making himself a pain in the butt in the region.
We now have two fanatics that are anti-American right next door to us. The future is going to be interesting.
If I were Hugo, I wouldn't be making any long term purchases.
