Here's a controversial topic for you:
The editorial section of the Wall Street Journal had some words about Venezuela today. A strong US ally in the war on drugs and terrorism has been Columbian President Uribe. It now appears that the Chavez regime in Venezuela has been providing safe haven for international terrorists that have been trying to destabilize Colombia and other South American countries using drug money (and maybe some petrodollars from Chavez) as their currency. A recent large order of automatic weapons from Russia by Venezuela does not bode well for peace in the region.
So, I say, forget about Iran. Let's invade Venezuela. Probably just about as much oil there to liberate, it's a lot closer to home (giving the higher-ups plenty of (photo) opportunities for "surprise visits" to the troops), and since Dubya speaks Spanish, he can address his freedom message directly to the people.

(Its the day after the inauguration, President Bush is fair game again.)

Indeed. We can fly out of our air bases here and head up to Canada. We can make bombing runs there and then continue on south. We don't need flyover permission from ourselves right? On the way to Venezuela we might as well take out Mexico. What the hell...good fajitas. So now we have good beer and fajitas. Once we take out Iran we can sit on nice persian rugs and drink our Canadian beer and eat our Mexican fajitas. Life is good.

Do we need to have Colin Powell appear before the U.N. with graphs and charts and 27 8 X 10 glossy photos with arrows and circles, showing all of the delegates where the known WMDs are or should we just go ahead?
I'm sure the Germans and French will disapprove, but we can probably talk Tony Blair into it. If we get just one small Pacific island on our side, we can say we have an international coalition.

You forgot the paragraph on the back describing what each one was. Let's leave Venezuela alone please. Martha makes a lot of money there.
