We know Venezuela is another big oil producer. Only time will tell whether this news is about
1. Chavez drumming up political support.. or
2. Military build up before an assault on Venezuelan lands.. or
3. A major distraction away from mideast crisis.

If we are invited by another country to defend them from an invader such as Chavez in Argentina or Hussein in Kuwait then we bomb the offending invaders back into the stone age and then go home.
You know I like the tone of your post alot and even though I am Canadian, I actually believe to a point that the US military needs to be out there protecting US interests( those interests have a direct or indirect effect on life in Canada). The idea that the US should leave things the way they are actually flies int he face of sustained economic prosperity, therefore the US military needs to be out there. Also from an economic stand point if you have US soldiers at home alot of them would be relieved because there would be no practical use in having that many paid troops hanging around the US waiting to be deployed which would increase unemployment and welfare etc..

As a former member of the US military and a veteran of Iraq I can honestly say I agree with this.
Chavez is crying wolf right now and the more you pay attention to him the bigger he feels. One day he's going to get to big for his britches and will invade another country.
Might as well ignore him until it's time to drop a smart bomb into his office.
We need to let Chaves go start his wars and do his damage let his neighbors fight him on their own terms. Let them drain each others resources and lose their own lives instead of ours.
We need to pull all US troops, aircraft, ships and bases out of every country on the planet. We need to pull all foriegn aid and support to every country and organization including the UN.
If we are invited by another country to defend them from an invader such as Chavez in Argentina or Hussein in Kuwait then we bomb the offending invaders back into the stone age and then go home.
No occupation. No rebuilding. No government restructuring.
Our primary objective should be close ties with Mexico and Canada. They are our northern and southern borders. Screw with them and you screw with us. The rest are none of our concern and should only be bothered with if they bother us.
The rest of the world can deal with their criminal, opportunistic dictators and abusive governments ...
..and we'll figure out how to deal with ours.

Really? What makes you think we have the right to do that? I think you need to understand geopolitical context.. Kuwait was an oil rich area of Iraq taken by force and carved into a new country by western imperial powers in the early 20th century. Does that sound right to you? It belongs to the people of Iraq, not oil corporations, and been part of Iraq for thousands of years prior.

I've no doubt the US has figured this equation out: destabilizing a once sovereign country/region = pro american puppet outpost. The so called drug war is the cause of the problem in afghanistan and columbia. Either outpost is beside a bunch of oil in an anti-US country.
Too bad someone figured out the American foreign meddling game and got tired of it. Obviously anyone who doesn't go along with neo-imperialism is a monster. You are either with us or against us.
What would the US do if China stationed troops in Mexico?

Dont bother....
They claim we are brainwashed and they pity us. Meanwhile they are doing the exact same thing it's just pushing their personal agenda. Most could actually care less about the poor or the people involved they just find situations like this as an opportunity to stand on their soap box to regurgitate and spew their Anti-American rhetoric.
I don't even bother with them anymore. If you haven't notice yet it's the same story thread after thread no matter the topic.
