Colombia is not the key to the crisis in Latin America.
Nor is Eucodor, Nicaragua, or Cuba it is Venezuela.
The first step is to stop the immediate crisis from blowing out of proportion by lining up the rest of Latin America against these four dictators.
The second step is to move the US Navy into a blockade formation off Venezuela.
The third step is to shut off the oil flow out of Venezuela to his friends in the rest of Latin America.
The fourth step is to stop all trade with Venezuela.
The idea is to increase the pressure on Hugo Chavez to point that he capitulate's in the face of outside pressure and internal dissent.
An invasion work's to the advantage of the socialists.
If you cut off food, spare parts, cars, and other imports to Venezuela you leave Hugo little room to manuever.
If his national debt is high and his oil money from the United States is cut off then he goes out of business for a lack of money.
Latin American Countries can get oil from Mexico or indirectly from Russia.
Finally, Hugo's oil money is financing all of his activities and we in the United States buy 60% of his oil.
Cut off his oil exports to the United States and Europe and he is out of business without a war.
