OPINION: "The Tehran-Caracas Nuclear Axis," by Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal, 15 December 2009.

Stephens on the likelihood that Iran is prospecting for uranium in Venezuela. Seems like a decent and logical bet.

Chavez miscalculates if he thinks he's somehow untouchable due to his "powerful" friends. None will lift a finger when the hammer comes down.

Because this, after all, remains our "front lawn," where crazy is most definitely dealt with, when it reaches a level we consider dangerous.
