Is This Why Hugo Chavez Fears U.S. Invasion?

Apparently oil isn't enough to pay for the socialist revolution, as they are now turning to narcotics trafficking.
The varied testimonies I have heard reveal that the co-operation between Venezuela and the guerrillas in transporting cocaine by land, air and sea is both extensive and systematic. Venezuela is also supplying arms to the guerrillas, offering them the protection of their armed forces in the field, and providing them with legal immunity de facto as they go about their giant illegal business.If this is true, perhaps Chavez' fear of U.S. military intervention is not entirely groundless, as Manuel Noriega could attest.
Of course, we could end all the narco-states and put these violent merchants out of business tomorrow by eliminating the laws that create their 10,000% profit margins.
I really don't know whether ingesting lungfuls of cannabis smoke is more harmful then doing the same thing with tobacco smoke. I don't smoke in any case.
But I have the growing idea that it might be a good idea to treat as international terroristsa anyone involved in smuggling cocaine or heroin into this country. Which means that I would put them to death.

and 3) Massed troops at the border of the Canal Zone.
That he was also dealing drugs was just icing on the cake -- one that could be used in American courts without scowls of protest from the same people protesting the holding of terrorists in Gitmo.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
