what could shake things up far more than the elections in
Venezuela is the little matter of the US’ Nov. 6 vote, with Republicans taking
a seriously hawkish tone. “In the last three years, Venezuela has become a narco-terrorist
state, turning it into an Iranian outpost in the Western hemisphere,” says the 2012 Republican Platform.
“The current regime issues Venezuelan passports or visas to
thousands of Middle Eastern terrorists offering safe haven to Hezbollah
trainers, operatives, recruiters and fundraisers,” the GOP claims. Were Romney to become president, the big question would be whether
he would follow that campaign rhetoric with equally tough actions — or would he
also continue the Obama administration’s policy of containing Chavez while
keeping the oil flowing?
