[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 3020020, member: 9117"] Most of us agree, what's going on in VZ is terrible, however there is still a gov't in charge that is the result of a democratic election. And that gov't controls many tens of thousands of troops. If the US were to enter in any capacity even just as peacekeepers, the gov't in charge would see this as a hostile invasion and would act accordingly. Then you'd be trading American lives for VZ lives. Is that really what we want to do? I'm not too keen on it. IMO, This is something that needs to be sorted out by the VZ people. They voted for it way back when they elected Chavez. They had legit elections back then and they chose to go with Evil. Now they need to deal with it. Many of them will die for sure, and perhaps a whole generation will live in poverty because of the bad choices they made. But ultimately it was their choice. Should Americans die because of a population's bad decisions? Could you tell a soldier, "we're sending you to fight and possibly die for people who continually make bad decisions"? I couldn't do that. Our Gov't could always arm rebels, if they haven't already. They've done it many times in the past, especially in Central and S. America. Just my $.02.. [/QUOTE]
