IMHO this only negative in our situation in Iraq is our apparent inability now to handle S. America.

You are right.
We cannot handle two fronts. Give Clinton credit for that.

But disagreements between Bolivia and Venezuela are unlikely to create armed conflict. There is over a thousand miles of Brazil between them.

Besides the obvious, Columbia, the most likely flashpoints in that region are still Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay imo.

This Chavez fellow is making big problems for not only the USA but the people of South and Central America.

He's got the Jimmy Carter seal of approval. Makes it difficult to deal with him. But he had better watch the horizon for a MEU.
