From everything I read in the US media, Chavez is the democratically elected leader of Venezuela. When are the next elections? And why can't we get involved in them to the same extent that James Carvile got Barak elected in Israel? Or have the media forgotten that episode?
If Chavez tries to steal the next election, or doesn't hold it, then we can come in and be the guys restoring democracy in Venezuela.

Why are you going in search of foreign monsters to destroy? Have we not enough misery at home?

Simon Bolivar mourns. Unless the people of Venezuela do something fast, the freedom for which he fought is a fading memory.

Amazing how the media fails to mention the Chavez's persecution of the churches.

This situation in Venezuela is confusing. If the military overthrew Chavez, why did they not exile or put him on a trial.
I know that the President Carmona(spelling?) resigned only after one day and Chavez went back into power by his supporters.
But I thought the military had more supporters aganist Chavez's regime, and since Chavez is no longer popular with the people,
they should not let this action stand.
Because after a year, Chavez will purge the government, and he will end up stronger than ever just like his idol Fidel Castro after Bay of Pigs in 1961.

A better idea: arrange for Chavez' early demise. As should have been the case in the abortive coup.
