Only Bush was missing from today’s meeting to make the whole thing totally fake. Thus, we had a stiff Uribe joining a sophomoric Chavez, coming out to say they love each other, we are all Bolivarian and Granda was a silly mistake on both parts. Left behind were the insults, the accusations and the charges and we are all buddies now. It is a pity Bush (played in the picture on the right by Chevy Chase) could not join them, so that Chavez would have told us how much he admires the US and how we are all brothers and he was only joking about disliking capitalism. Instead, we heard jokes from Chavez about promising not to invade the US and praise for Pancho Villa as the only one that dared do it. Uribe did not apologize, as expected, and looked a little uncomfortable, while Chavez adapted himself to today’s role with his customary ease. Perhaps the only news to come out of the diplomatic lovefest was Chavez statement that he will fight terrorism “wherever it maybe”. We now await for the next incident, which we are sure will take place before the end of the year. Diplomacy at its best!
