Shades of the 60s where the Guatamalan government was overthrown about every 6 weeks.

Bush didn’t do anything about our own backyard. Chavez should have been couped years ago.

I think this is being fomented from outside (Chavez) to punish Guatemala for not punishing Honduras. Still trying to sort through it.

The headline should read “Chavez warns of plan to overthrow Guatemalan president”

He’s saying that Guatemalans are going to follow the example of their counterparts in Honduras, and that plans for coups are afoot in Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Venezuela.

Oh, please, let it be so.

“El mandatario venezolano sostuvo que hay planes golpistas también en Nicaragua, Bolivia y en su propio país, Venezuela”

Gee, you don’t think his plate was already full.

It’s sure a shame that we didn’t have Gore and Kerry presidencies, so that we could have stuff like this could have been done and heck, by now we might have already warmed up to Obama.

Yep, and he’s doing a crappy job, like many socialists/communists. Colon would actually be a natural ally for Chavez. I guess Chavez is snorting more of his own product.

If you’ve ever wondered why the internationalists push “arms control,” here’s your answer. It’s so the people can’t fight back against the commies.

I can believe that. Guatamala has always been a hotbed of discontent.
