“Too little too late. Who put/elected this nut in that position?! Huh?”
Too late for what? Sounds kinda melodramatic. The Venezuelan people who voted for Chavez put him in that position. You think Venezuelans are the only people to elect reckless charismatic populists? This slim victory went a long way in emboldening the opposition. That should be encouraged. He’ll break apart his “reform package” and some will pass, some won’t. But before Venezuela starts looking anything remotely like Zimbabwe, Chavez will find himself on the losing end of a coup.
You think so, huh!...reread the latest news coming out of that paradise...he already tighten the grip on the Press, and monopolized the Oil Industry under his command and a host of other "little" measures to entrench himself as a "El Commandant" as required in those South American Banana Republics.
Talk to me in 2010.
