WAR LOOMS IN SOUTH AMERICA

Not long after I posted my last blog about Colombia, a series of events occurred. And it is exactly as I feared it would be. Ecuador and Venezuela have started sending thousands of troops to their border with Colombia. They have also withdrawn their ambassadors from the country. I think that Jugo Chavez is just using all of this as an excuse to go to war with Colombia because they are an American ally and to gain more power throughout Latin America. As I stated in my last blog, Colombia has been a staunch American ally and they deserve our support if they are attacked. Plus this would be a good time to get rid of Jugo Chavez, now we see how far he is willing to take things. For both of the articles on this crisis you can go to The Christian Science Monitor.
