Colombia launched a strike on left wing rebels killing 17 of them. Including the highest ranking leader they have killed in 40 years. But Ecuador is furious because the strike was in their territory. They have withdrawn their ambassador to Colombia and said anymore incursions could lead to "the ultimate consequences". Jugo Chavez has stated that if that ever happens in Venezuealan territory that it will mean war. So tensions are very high.
PERSONAL OPINION
It is unfortunate that this is happening. I hope the tensions die down. Colombia has always been a very loyal US ally. While Venezuela is the complete oppositte right now. They are trying to unite Latin America against the US. Jugo Chavez is trying to provoke a war. If they do go to war we should intervene for Colombia.
