The Two Weeks You Missed - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com
The New York Times reports: "Hezbollah, the radical Shiite militia sponsored by Iran, has a new base of operations in the Americas: Venezuela. Western intelligence officials told The Los Angeles Times that President Hugo Chavez has formed 'a strategic partnership' with Iran, and that Hezbollah is exploiting the new ties. The group intends to create a special terrorist cell to kidnap Jewish businessmen in Latin America and take them back to Lebanon, the intelligence officials said. Another danger, they say, is that Hezbollah could use Venezuela as a base from which to insert terrorists into the United States."

Comment: Well, this can't be good. Maybe it's time to invoke the Monroe Doctrine and kick Hezbollah out of this hemisphere. Who do they think they are, China?
