#1 Remember the episode of the Twilight Zone called "The Mirror", with Peter Falk as the Central American dictator and the mirror that reflects the images of his assassins? This is life imitating art I think.

#4 What concerns me is the withdrawal and removal of ambassadors.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he is recalling his own ambassador from Washington and expelling the U.S. ambassador from Venezuela.
President Hugo Chavez said he was making the moves "in solidarity with Bolivia and the people of Bolivia."

"He has 72 hours, from this moment, the Yankee ambassador in Caracas, to leave Venezuela," Chavez told a crowd of supporters.

I wonder if he's planning some sort of military action against his neighbors.
