#2 Exports - commodities: natural gas, soybeans and soy products, crude petroleum, zinc ore, tin

We get the same from Chile, beside tasty produce and list of other minerals. Tofu I wouldn't miss for anything--makes spongy brain tissue anyway--see lunachiropterus kumbayi (kumbaya moonbat).

#3 Bolivia has large gas reserves. There were protests that brought down the government due to plan to export via Chile. Bolivia lost sea access after a war with Chile and plans are being made for a more expensive pipeline via Peru. There is also talk of nationalizing the gas and oil industry. But w/ nationalization, they can put off exports for a long time since who will finance any part of it when they ownersip/loans can be taken over at any time.

#4 Natural gas ya say? Socialist dictator ya say?

More reason to get the negotiations completed, financing secured, and a natural gas pipeline underway from Alaska's North Slope to the Lower 48. And get ANWR going, while yer at it.
