I think all the governments in South America are Left Wing but in general on the Chavez team we have:
His own country Venezuela - 5th largest oil reserves
Now Ecuador - oil 500,000 barrels per year
Bolivia - largest natural gas reserves in South America and Chavez is helping
Colombia - still US friendly - might be our best allied. I think down the line Colombia and/or Peru will become more US friendly with special help thrown there way in the form of trade agreements and arms. I think some sort of a play will be made in South American I don't the US government will just throw it away, it's our back door right?
