If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

Things may have cooled down, which would be good.

Fingers crossed.The crisis over Colombia's cross-border raid into Ecuador is over after the presidents of the two countries shook hands at a regional summit.

so at the same time they are shaking hands venezuelan troops are fighting over in Colombia. I truly hope they do stay peaceful. but i seriously have my doubts on this one.

It would be a disaster if war broke it, I don't know the area, never been to South America but if they can't exercise a bit of self-control then I would think the ramifications would be horrendous. Apart from the obvious surely the direceconomic situation created by a regional war there would flow immediately to other countries in the region. And there might even be a bit of sabre-rattling by others. I just hope they all pull their heads in and get back to shouting insults at one another. I must admit that word picture of Chavez embracing anyone gave me a bit of ewww moment. He's better doing belligerent speeches, it's normal for him.

Columbia has venezuela on one side and equador on the other. Nicaragua is just north of venezuela and they are all three communists. They are not mad because of the strike into equador, they are pissed because the top two FARC leaders got iced. They are big supporters of FARC which is just an arm of their own military. Kind of like iran supporting hezbollah. equador was really the only one with a grievance. chavez is the one pushing to start a war. He needs to start something cause his country is going belly up.
