Things are getting worse , I just wish something would give. We'll see what approach the oposition takes after their visit to Washington and New York.
Thank you for keeping us posted!

Again, I just hope/pray the US govt will not too eagerly embrace any solution to end the strike that's offered (especially if it means Chavez stays) just so it'll more quickly assure a return to stable oil supplies in the short-term.

If they do, this current administration will be responsible, and be blamed for in years ahead, for having allowed another Cuba, but many times worse in this hemisphere to be established.
