Hugo Chavez Tells FARC Revolutionaries the 'Guerrilla War is History'

Hugo Chavez says it is time for the Revolutionary guerrillas in Columbia to cool their heels and end their reign. He still has his share of critics, but Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is removing obstacles that he believes could eventually be used as a reason for a preemptive strike against his country. It is a smart move that takes political weapons out of the hands of his enemies. Iran may not be safe from the war desires of George W. Bush, but neither is Venezuela. Chavez surprised people on both sides of the fence recently when he declared that the time for revolutionaries is over. He announced that, 'At this stage in Latin America, a guerrilla movement is out of place.'
