Mouth of the South Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, is raising the rhetoric in his row with Columbia, threatening a total ban on Columbian imports and severing all trade with his democratic neighbor, which has accused him of arming Columbian paramilitary groups.
Things have not settled down since Chavez told his military to prepare for war.
Columbia is exploring the possibility of leasing several bases on Columbian territory to the U.S. military, and it's driving Chavez insane.
Yet he thinks it's all right for Venezuelan arms to end up in the hands of Columbian rebels who want to establish a Socialist government in Columbia. He's trying to have it both ways; I hope Columbia doesn't cave in to this lunatic.
