After having just spent a week reading about international relations within Latin America, we see that the content is not merely just a chapter in a textbook. Tensions are on the rise between Presidents Chavez and Uribe, and the countries of Venezuela and Colombia are coming closer and closer into conflict. These tensions seem based in the more recent oil boom of the last five or six years. Within that same time, both countries have been on militarizing programs, improving their armed forces. A violent conflict would be a major setback for the region, and although Chavez appears as an aggressor, he does have support from various Latin American governments.
