You haven't given a compelling reason why the US will intitute this continent-wide occupation. We need water, lumber, etc., we buy it. That's the whole concept of international trade. You haven't explained how a base in SA furthers the PNAC agenda - how does this help us take lumber & livestock? Or what a nuke in Paraguay accomplishes. And you've jumped to the bases in Iraq for some reason. The thing is, we are building a ton of bases in Iraq & pulling all our troops to Iraq, and concentrating on a brewing Mideast war. The US is too occupied w/Iraq at this point to invade South America. Chavez is the least of our worries right now.
