#4 Ok, Fox is in the dog house with most Americans for his dumping of his poor and unemployables into their yards and running up local taxes and degrading public services in the States. So how can he get back into acceptable tolerated standing with the Gringos that is both mostly show and will not effect his standing at home, the economy, or real military adventurism. Can't pick on Castro. Too old and too much political capital spent in the hemisphere to make him the anti-gringo poster boy. Then how about the up and coming wannabe? Hugo, my man. Yes, there's the ticket. See the mighty Vicente demonstate his democratic-captialist orthodoxy by horse whipping the secondary lacky of marxism in the hemisphere. Now where's Don King to arrange the match?

#5 Could be.

Mexico's also an oil producer, however, and therefore a natural competitor to Chavez.

#6 If the Mexican navy wants to borrow a few LSTs and some landing craft, we probably have some lying around in mothballs we could spare.

#7 I'd rather give the LST's to Yugo.

#8 I'm all for arming both sides to the teeth with old weapons and letting them beat each other into the stone age.
