LOTS of people want to do bad things to the US. He can try to make deals with the Russians, but the days of a "cuban missile crisis" are behind us. Russia can only antagonize us to a point. Chavez' only bargaining chip is his oil. With prices falling and a realistic chance that we our days of oil dependence may be waning....this chip isn't as powerful as it once was. Just because he tries to rattle his saber, doesn't mean we need to necessarily pay attention to it. I just don't view him as a real threat to the United States. He has aligned _himself_ with people we consider terrorists. Which, in > current world politics, makes him a terrorist. Mostly regional terrorists....let the region deal with it, if they choose.

When the meeting actually happened, we just shrugged it off....didn't seem too concerned about it. -- I'm only one, but not alone My finest day, is yet unknown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:279874 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
