Incidentally, "Maduro" is Spanish for "Mature" or "ripe", as in "<em>fruit ripe for the picking</em>". It should also be noted that it would certainly be in the interest of several US adversaries if South America erupted in violence, conflict and unrest.

Besides, the country is broke, and fighting wars is very expensive. Then again, foreign military adventures are a favorite tactic for dictatorships with massive political and economic troubles at home...
