Ah, just what we need - South American jungle warfare amongst a Bush ally and Hugo Chavez

I am sure The Decider will know exactly what to do.  He's The Decider, after all.  And, "The Commander-Guy".

If full blown war breaks out, I assume the initial combatants would be Ecuador and Venezuela on one side; Bolivia on the other.

Questions...

1.     What, if any other countries, would be drawn in and to what extent?  And on what sides?
2.     What would the war "look like?"  I mean, would we see tanks rolling across the Bolivian
        border?  Airstrikes on Bolivian cities?  Or would this be more like Vietnam, with insertion
        and withdrawal of special forces, etc. 
3.     To what exent do you expect the US to get involved?
4.     To what extent do you expect the OAS to get involved?
5.     To what extent do you expect the UN to get involved?

For many of you, I bet these seem like dumb, basic questions.  But indulge me.  When I don't know the answer and want to learn -- I ask.  :-)

Sorry I said Bolivia.  I meant Colombia.  I dunno what's gotten into me -- making a lot of mistakes like that lately.

Workin' too hard!
