Clock Chavez Tells Colombia Building U.S. Military Base On Border Would Be Act of 'Aggressi
Quote:
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday warned Colombia not to allow a U.S. military base on its border with Venezuela, saying he would consider such an act an "aggression."

Chavez said he would not permit Colombia's U.S.-backed government to establish an American military base in La Guajira, a region spanning northeastern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.

The Venezuelan leader said if Colombia allows the base, his government will revive a decades-old territorial conflict and stake a claim to the entire region.

"We will not allow the Colombian government to give La Guajira to the empire," Chavez said, referring to the U.S. during a speech to a packed auditorium of uniformed soldiers. "Colombia is launching a threat of war at us."

WiseOne's Comments, well to be fair I can understand that IF it is right on the border of Venezuela. I usually don't EVER agree with Chavez, but he does have a point on this one. We must be reasonable here.

This illustrates what to me is one of the biggest problems in the world today. The Americans building military bases all over the world. I supose there was some justification for it during the cold war but those times are long gone. The pretext for it is to protect American interests and their friends but I see it as producing a lot of instability around the globe. As usual America decides to support a horrible repressive regime, Columbia against a neighbour who is trying to improve the standard of life for it's citizens. What would be Washingtons response if China was to build a military base somewhere in South America to protect it's friend against the South American Facists. The Americans need to rethink their foreign policy and stay out of other countries business unless absolutly necessary.
