#1 I don't think this country is paying near enough attention to the convergence of Hezbollah, al-Q, FARC, Chavez and the leftist nuts in Peru and Bolivia. They really could destabilize an entire continent.

... funnelling the proceeds of counterfeit software ...

When Allah created the universe, one of his main ideas was that anybody should be able to freely copy and sell any software.

#3 If the article is accurate, I am impressed with the work of the Paraguayan police. The upheval in Paraguay may be an even worse eventuality than I first thought. If a pro-Chavez, pro-Castro leader takes firm control, I think we can expect Paraguay to switch sides in the WOT.

#4 its bolivia that had the civil disturbances, not Paraguay. And i doubt Bolivia will overtly support the islamists - even Castro hasnt done so. Chavez and FARC both seem to be under seige themselves.

Rather this seems to me an extension of longstanding Hezbollah activity in the horn of South America - remember when they boombed a Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires - (i cant forget, a friend of mine lost several of his friends there) Argetina responded firmly - and ultimately traced it to Iran.

#5 LH, thanks for the correction. I have trouble keeping Parguay and Bolivia straight. I let my wife make all travel arrangements so that we get no surprises.
