The good news is they can look forward to a booming low power rice cooker industry to spring up!
And soon they can join the ranks of having large numbers of citizens becoming avid amateur astronomers like the Norks!
Yes, Venezuela would be insane to attack Columbia, but then I do not think Hugo Chavez is playing with a full deck. He just might do the Western Hemisphere a service by getting his ass kicked by the Columbian army.
Chavez is in a no-lose situation by provoking war with Columbia.
Even if he can’t get Fidel or Obama to back him overtly- if he starts losing- his friends abroad will at least intervene as “peacekeepers” to stop his total defeat.
In the mean time, his adventures can be used for both marxist and nationalist propaganda.
Just think 15 years ago one 7.62 round wound have prevented all this crap.

I’d like them to go to war: The Columbians then (they should stir up the Venezuelan resistance) while also giving Hugo a big but-kicking!
