Scary thought, as this world sure does not need these 2 powers in a conflict, as we will be drug in immediately and spread too thin as it is.

Unfortunately, world events effect the markets in both directions.

I hope the world community can negotiate peace, and Chavez had better butt out...

I'm not to politically inclined, but conflict between nations resulting in military action, especially in recent times with high tech weapons etc, is not a pleasant thing to contimplate.

Here's hoping for peace.
