US military bases in Colombia

[Vanessa Di Domenico]

These days, perhaps the most problematic International issue going on here, in Western Venezuela, is that we are about to have US military personnel present nearby in more than 7 bases in Colombia. To many, this looks like an act of 'threats' by the USA to all South America, and to Venezuela in particular. We are a 'big oil' state of Vzla, called Zulia, on the border with Colombia, and the US government has already been active here trying to separate the state from Venezuela- a nice and easy way to gain access to the best oil and the most important refinery in the world, not to mention the big business associated with the drugs that pass by here with everyone looking the other way, while the big and powerful enjoy making victims out of the most needy people in the area, both Colombia and Venezuela. What can possibly be done about this? How can the US big army be kept from destroying us? What can we say to the rest of the world that will show how this will affect so many people?
