My feeling is that Chavez, a military leader admired by many, is spreading his revolution throughout Latin America with the backing of Russia and China in retaliation for our sowing seeds of dissent in their near abroad. Our containment of Russia and China includes threatening them with nuclear weapons. If Russia and China are indeed backing Chavez I also look for nuclear weapons in our backyard pointed at us as this seems a quid pro quo arrangement.

Our not so best buddy, Brazil, can launch ICBM’s and they are close to developing nuclear weapons, or ICBM’s with nuclear warheads.
Consider this: "Brazil is going to be the first ever nuclear weapon state (NWS) in the Southern Hemisphere by 2010." The fear of Theodore Taylor, an American physicist and expert on nuclear weapons during the 1970s would be true, if Brazil produces the bomb.

The following is somewhat different because it involves terrorists in Latin America as opposed to the countries of the region uniting against us
TERRORISM: Al Qaeda in Latin America
June 5, 2005: The presence of Islamic radicals in some parts of Latin America is well known. With its vast wildernesses and weak governments, Latin America has been used for safe houses, transit routes for personnel, and even training bases. The focus of these activities has been on moving and training Islamic terrorists. Recently, however, a potentially disturbing trend has begun to develop, as intelligence suggests that the Islamic radicals are establishing ties with domestic radical and criminal groups in several countries.
Haiti - members of an Islamic group known to have ties with al Qaeda have apparently been providing training in weapons and explosives use to one of the pro-Aristide gangs, while also attempting to convert gang members to Islam.
Dominican Republic - two local radical groups seem to have been in contact with Islamic radicals, seeking financial and technical assistance.
Nicaragua – Al Qaeda, which is believed to have moved important operatives through the country from time to time, may be trying to reach out to dissatisfied fringe elements with the intention of helping them undertake terrorist attacks against the government.
Three Frontiers Region-- Hizbollah, and perhaps other Islamic groups, have been able to operate rather freely in the porous borderlands where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay come together, taking advantage of rampant corruption, to establish training camps, safe houses, and logistical bases.
Dominican Republic - Recent intelligence operations suggested that several domestic radical organizations may in communication with al Qaeda or other Islamist groups with the intention of securing assistance in mounting an attack against U.S. interests.
