Hardly a parallel
Interesting scenario presented by Dorrie Whitlock ("Chilling scenario," Letters, March 3), but there are a few "minor" differences between Iraq and Venezuela.
Which country did Venezuela invade and ravage? And how many of its Scud missiles landed on a country not even involved in the war to drive it out? After being driven out of the country it invaded, did Venezuela spend the next 12 years breaking 16 U.N. resolutions? When did it use weapons of mass destruction against its own people? Does its leader give $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers?
If you have answers to those questions, I'll support your hypothetical German invasion of Venezuela.
