So we don't like Chavez, bad news chaps - we aren't Venezualan and as such we have no right to interfere in their politics. He will come a cropper soon, mainly due to the economic crash that the whole world is suffering. Amongst other things the falling oil prices diminish incoming revenue, coupled with lack of infrastructure investment means that he can only sustain his social reform for so long before the bill comes due. It is the Venezualan people that I really feel sorry for, they've got very little and will end up with even less.
Before Chavez Venezuala was one of the strongest most progressive , economically in the region. They had a good infrastructure that was being updated.
Your right it's the people of the country's choice, They voted for him. However if Hugo decides to quit rattling his saber and actually draw it in regards to Columbia then it becomes everyone's problem. That I believe is what is being discussed.
