Are we friendly enough with Chile to fly over their country? I think a couple of carriers offshore would do the trick. If not, I guess we could bomb Chile also.

Your comment absolutely demonstrates to the entire world just how utterly ignorant some Americans can be. I PRAY that you are not in government or even the press...though the press *thinks* it is the gov't.

Chile is a FRIENDLY!! You don't pLss off a friendly unless you have a REEEEALLLY good reason, and even then you had best think about it.

Reagan acceded to the wishes of the Spanish AND the French regarding "overfly" to carry out the warning raid on Tripoli.

Then think about it twice more. Enemies are everywhere. Friends take YEARS to gain the trust and confidence of, and your flip comment...
