I liked the original Mercenaries and that was in North Korea, I didn't see the North Koreans making a fuss. Besides there are tons of games that allow to invade other countries, Rome: Total War, Axis and Allies, heck even RISK!

Besides, Hugo Chavez spent the last 2 years trying to get the USA attention well, monsieur est servie as the French say.

Ohhhh...Now I know why they are worried...check this out.http://today.reuters.com/business/ne...ASOLINE-DC.XML
Apparently, Venezuela has the cheapest gas at 12 cents a gallon!!!!!So they are worried about an invasion from the US because of their low energy...It makes a little bit more sense now.

But, what is the average income of Venezuelans? If you make five bucks a day, 12 cents per gallon is a lot.

True, but Venezuela doesn't want the US, with it's even higher gas, to invade just so they can get the crude oil cheaper....

Edit:average income is about $3490 per year. Close, Missileer..
