#1 This may be one ticket that El Supremo had better not punch. The US can make it abundantly clear that while it doesn't mind Venezuelans playing games, nuclear anything is James Bond time.

Chavez has come, and Chavez will go, but if Venezuela goes nuclear, it may mean the end of Venezuela. It is a red line, and Chavez and all his little dreams of glory are not worth it.

Russia as well has been playing fast and loose. We might suggest that a nuclear armed Georgia would not be in Russia's benefit as well.

#2 "Brazil has nuclear reactors as does Argentina. Venezuela will have its reactor too,"

New third world status symbol?
