Can you guys point me to a get-up-to-speed. I've been reading about the crisis peripherally, but I still don't know the players, need a scorecard. How did Chavez get in? When did he "take over." What's popular opinion in Venezuala?
What do OAS folks have to say about it? What does W think about it?
