.....although it was unclear whether he has returned to Caracas as president or to support his former vice-president, Diosdado Cabello, who has been sworn in as the head of government.

"The leaders of Argentina, Mexico and Paraguay -- meeting in San Jose, Costa Rica -- said Saturday they would not recognize any new leaders in Venezuela until elections are held there.

Mexican President Vicente Fox said his country "without abdicating its obligations ... will limit diplomatic relations with the government."

"There's no proof that Chavez quit," said Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo. "We're operating here in uncharted waters."

There it is: Chavez is not quite back. He won't be fully accepted unless he or another person wins the elections. Chavez was not quite strong enough to stay on. His opponents weren't strong enough to boot him out. First round knockdown to the challenger, second round knockdown to the defending champion. Can't end there. Only room in enough in Venezuela for one of them. Prediction: it will go the distance to the last man standing.

SICK! The people of Venezeula = please = embrace freedom, not tyranny! Communist China probably got their money working to get the anti-coup mobs in the streets!

The military appears to be the only rational force in the country.
Too bad that our own ideology no longer could support a military take over even with assurances.

However, nice democratic riots mounted by outside financed movements (as in Belgrade) are just fine.
