it seems to me the problem here is not a confrontation, war is not an option anymore, not in the era of communication, the big issue we have here in the south America is that historicaly everybody came here looking for gold, silver, and now for oil, trees(amazonas) and cocaine,... and in the process to many people died, entire populations, cities, were burnt to ashes just by lust, and nobody was (or better) nobody is judged for doing that; I do not know if Mister Chavez is crazy, but Evo Morales is in a place that no one without his skin colour should be, minding bussiness of his own people country nd resources, without gringos; i think what happened in Malvinas was wrong, but like James Monroe (1890s US president) said "Americas for the americans", even when US goverment itself looks away when it comes to this Falkland story....I don't think Hugo Chavez looks for a retalition (just a little affair with US i guess) but the world to turn sights to this site of the map, and stop thinking we are a bunch of monkeys that cannot run our countries without F.M.I. foot over, and stop believing what they want you to, showing manipulated news, it is a cuestion of not listening everything they gives you to,..... but lookout, original owners of this lands (the Chavez or Evos and other thousand aborigen people like them) still have some hardfeelings about this issues....
I repeat, war is not an option, don't forget that here we all have parents with Spanish last names, italians, frenchies and even so British, you only have to read the names of Argentine Air Force pilots during the conflict to realize....Salute
