Venezuela Cuts Ties With Colombia
By DARCY CROWE and FORREST JONES

CARACAS -- President Hugo Chavez severed all diplomatic ties with neighboring Colombia on Thursday and ordered "maximum alert" on the border, following charges by Bogota that Colombian rebel leaders were stationed in Venezuela.

The move comes after Colombia's ambassador to the Organization of American States, Luis Alfonso Hoyos, showed satellite images and video footage during a special OAS session of what he said were "summer camps" of cocaine-financed Colombian insurgents in Venezuela.

Mr. Hoyos also requested that the OAS send an international commission to Venezuela within 30 days to visit the coordinates where the camps are allegedly located.

"There's nothing else for us but to completely break diplomatic relations with Colombia," Mr. Chavez said, flanked by Argentine soccer star Diego Armando Maradona, who is visiting the Venezuelan leader.

Mr. Chavez also ordered maximum alert on the Venezuelan border and said that "we hope that nothing more serious happens" before Colombian President Alvaro Uribe leaves office on Aug. 7.

Yeah. I hope Chavez appoints him Minister of Defense.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D
