#1 Money flowing to terrorist groups from South America is not limited to the tri-border region. Margarita Island off the coast of Venezuela is one place that the State Department should watch closely.

#2 It is odd that money would flow from impoverished South America back to the oil-rich Middle East. If Chavez goes down, I am hopeful that change can happen through the OAS in that region.

#3 Not odd at all. I wonder what percentage of money financing al-Qaeda comes from princely largesse and what comes from the zakat flowing out of the pockets of the downtrodden?

#4 I also wonder what percentage of the zakat coming from the pockets of the downtrodden magickally turns into princely largesse.

#5 Venezuela, under Chavez has become the enemy directly below, with his various support, ranging from narco-terrorists in Columbia, as well as Islamic fanatics operating within the general region with goals of jihad northward (US).

As with Iran, Venezuela's OPEC oil profits are being misused and not benefiting the general public.

The sooner an anti-communist government rules Venezuela the better for geostrategic security for the entire geographic zone.
