Problem is, the way Chavez's popularity has been going down hill, he may decide that he needs a war to unite people behind him.  It would be risky, but if he thinks he'd be going down anyway, he may well decide to go down fighting rather than peacefully.

That would be if Peru and Bolivia were to fight Chile again, which might just happen someday.

Except that if this does escalate to an air war, I can't see the U.S. Navy staying out of this.  2 Carrier Battle Groups have more than enough firepower to quickly sweep the Venezuelan Air Force from the skies, and even just 1 CBG would have enough to win the air war.
