Venezuelan army soldiers line up at the main entrance of a police station where opponents of President Hugo Chavez protest in Caracas, Venezuela, Dec 16, 2002. Opposition marchers demanded the soldiers leave. As the crowd grew, the soldiers retreated and police in riot gear fanned out to keep hundreds of opposition and Chavez supporters apart. Chavez ordered the army takeover of the city's police precincts in November.(AP Photo/Fernando)

At least the soldiers
didn't machine gun the crowd.
Someone is showing

restraint down there. Or
is the stage just being set
for one bloody sweep...
