#1 Further south, I wonder if Viktor Bout sold any Russian mini subs to Chavez or FARC? I saw a fiberglass submersible being towed by a supply ship in the Caribbean recently, and was thinking of the drug smugglers newest tactics, but they can just as easily hold Hezbollah agents, explosives, or other WMD's. Glasnost didn't erase ingrained prejudices and greed, and privatization only stoked competitiveness against the Americans. "Trust but verify" in all arenas will always be necessary.
