There are few people I despise more than Hugo Chavez. He is a vulgar demogogue (“I am told that Condoleeza Rice dreams of me,” he once said. What a self-centered idiot! Besides, he doesn’t seem to know that Rice is a Lesbian). He’s also a habitual liar, a bully, a coward and an enemy of democracy. He has tried to export his nonsensical “Bolivarian Revolution” (what does that mean?) to the rest of Latin America. But to fear him as a threat to American national security is silly. To worry about Chavez creating an alliance of any value with Amedinejad is even more foolish.
Why? Because whatever influence the heads of the Venezuelan and Iranian governments have had is gone with the precipitous drop in the price of oil. And given the present global economic crisis and the resulting drop in demand, oil prices are going to remain low for the foreseeable future. Without money, those two jerks have lost their leverage.
To worry about a new missile crisis such as we faced in October 1962 is ridiculous. Just how could the missiles be transported and emplaced? How would such actions escape notice by our much improved (since 1962) global surveillance systems? Why would the Iraanians risk annihilation to give Venezuela nukes? After all, the crisis in October 1962 centered on the risk of nuclear war between the US and the USSR. But who would play the role of a rival super power in a hypothetical US vs. Iran and Venezuela confrontation? We have thousands of THERMOnuclear warheads. What would Iran have even in ten or twenty years? EVEN IF WE WERE TO LET THEM ACQUIRE SUCH WEAPONS – A VERY DUBIOUS PROPOSITION – Perhaps a few dozen atomic warheads. So, Iran would risk suicide to protect Venezuela? What protection would Tehran have from being hit with hundreds of American H-bombs? The Iranians would accept that danger to help the “Bolivarian Revolution”? No way, no how!
This is a prime example of ridiculous AIM paranoia. To spread such childish fairy tale fears is both irresponsible and stupid.
