    I hope the US will stand up for Colombia. They have made a lot of progress in the last 10 years. But considering that Venezuela has more oil than Colombia things don't look good for the US supporting Colombia. And since Rupert Murdoch and Fox news don't care about either counry they will focus attention on the Middle East where their true loyalties lie.
    Chavez needs the US more than we need him. His country is nearly bankrupt thanks to Chaves. If we stoped buying Venezuelan oil it would bankrupt them and the country would fall apart. Nobody else can handle their nasty heavy oil so they would never find another market.
