the terrorist network in argentina and in chile has been *VERY* quiet for the past five, maybe even the past 10 years, and is now starting to stir.
chavez is funding and refurbishing the old network. expect more of this...
Absolutely. By coincidence, on another thread we were just discussing the hope that Rice, as SOS, will pay more attention to Latin America than Powell did. I think the US under Powell has taken a benign neglect policy towards Latin America, and this was all it took to let Chavez' power grow.
Terrorism as a political tool must be stomped on by all civilized nations' governments or we will slip back into the age of walled cities and communities - the Dark Ages. I have always included these terrorists in South America or Africa whenever I have spoken at length to people about AlQ and the Islamist terrorist threat. If any of them are allowed to dictate to established governments by using terrorist activities to gain influence, eventually even groups like "Right to Life" and "Amnesty International" and "Democrat Party" will start to question whether they ought to use similar tactics.
Terrorism is very dangerous to civilization - and in fact, may be the ultimate danger.

Any possible connection with the religion of peace?
What were those guys called in Argentina...the Montoneros or something?
