Why did we attack Saddam? He also was on the verge of collapse. However logic does not prevail when reasons are justified by emotion and the 'them evil; we good' mentality. Reason that a majority of Americans supported "Mission Accomplished"? Exact same reasoning created Nam.

What will stop us from making the same mistake with Chavez? Well it took 30 years for Americans to completely forget those lessons from Nam. It may take another decade for 'big dic' reasoning to have credibility again.

Meanwhile Chavez is only a threat because the current American government is so dumb as to make Chavez look credible. Notice the number of once strong American friends that are now even talking to Castro.
