Recently President Chavez has (re)stated that the Netherlands Antilles, the three islands Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire, just off the Venezuelan coast, are part of his country, Venezuela.

Such claims are the recipe for uniting a divided country against a common enemy. The Argentine junta has tried this recipe with the Falklands and now Chavez is repeating this policy regarding the Dutch Antilles.

Come on ..... the Dutch dont need to have anything. The US would love to have an excuse to get in there and stick a grenade up Chavez's butt.

Originally posted by ivanhoeWasn't this like, over a year ago, with Chavez worried about the upcoming Joint Caribbean Lion? I mean wouldn't you be if someone stuck loads of amphibious troops 40km from your border?

There may be no reason to be paranoid, but it's very understandable.
