Speaking on his regular "Hello President" program on May 22, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said: "We must start working on that area, the nuclear area. We could, along with Brazil, with Argentina and others, start investigations into the nuclear sector and ask for help from countries like Iran." The statement, which follows a visit to Caracas by Iranian President Mohammed Khatami in March, was intended to be noticed and it was. The question is why he would have said it. Confused? Don't worry. George Friedman explains it all. Venezuelan Red Flag |
