Thoughts on the current disquiets

[fpb]

Nobody likes war. At the same time, suppose Chavez really carried on with his provocations until he made it inevitable: I think that, unless the Venezuelan Army had a fit of sanity and removed him, its result would delight us. Think for a minute: the Colombian Army, hardened by years of war against the FARC, against the Venezuelans, who have not fought a war in living memory, and insignificant Ecuador. Wouldn't it be nice to see Chavez having to seek refuge in Habana or Harare?

I think so too. I also think that if it is not, the Venezuelan Army itself will remove Chavez, and likely enough have him "shot while trying to". However, with Chavez one never knows. Remember, this is a man who is seriously trying to promote a conspiracy theory that Simon Bolivar was poisoned, that nobody in two centuries had ever thought of.
