Night Writer...I can only speculate... Any investment by corporations are not backed by any government, and would therefore, be extremely risky in such a volatile political country. There does not appear to be a strategic course of action by politicians and business leaders. Esso/Exxon lost its oil fields (1975) when Venezuela nationalized the oil industry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The United States has not been as aggressive as other countries in helping their industries attain business overseas. This international "crisis" is a perfect opportunity for the USA to further extend its economic influence around the world in exchange for much needed US financial support. A lack of a concerted organized effort by politicians and business leaders might let an excellent opportunity slip by. The USA could obtain the natural resources at their terms instead of having to compete with Russia when it is forced to "dump" them at low prices in the near future. Loki
