| #4 Cite on Honduras? Mexico may well move left - not surprising considering their unmet social problems, that poor folks would vote for a populist. It will either work or it wont. In Brazil Lula has kept to market reforms, under left rhetoric. In Argentina Kirchner has pissed off the IMF to some degree, IIUC, again not surprising. Other than Venezuala I see no threats. OTOH there we kinda screwed up by winking at a coup that failed. Best bet with Chavez is watch him very carefully. |

| #3 We have an arc of instability forming in our own backyard. Honduras is a narco-terrorist state. Mexico's well on its way to leftist nutland (if not revolution). Gran Chavezia is arming itself to the teeth and reaching it to rogue states around the world. How long before Al Qaeda inserts itself into this chaos and exploits the gaping vulnerability on our southern border? |

| #2 In a menacing sign, Fidel Castro of Cuba has just announced a new shipyard construction project in Venezuela, bringing on Cuban workers. Considering their trade, may well be 'enforcers.' In Grenada, it was airport construction, right? You remember Grenada, Hugo? I'll bet El Supremo does... |
