True. But so what? He is destroying that very Democracy that put him in power. He changed the constitution, put in judges that side with him, and removed any opposition leader that he considered to be a "threat" to his power. If say, President Clinton tried to do the same thing, think people would just sit around and let the dictator continue to rule? I don't think so.

Also, this referendum, all it is asking is for a new election if I'm not mistakened. Not removal of Chavez (though that may be the ultimate goal, Chavez would still have a chance to stay if the vote were to say, go his way [hopefully without corruption]). What is wrong with that? Can't that be considered a part of the Democratic process?

BTW, what has the US done in Venezuala anyways? The only thing that the US remotely did was "maybe" support the failed coup to remove Chavez. After that, the US has pretty much stayed out of Venezuala, other then a few critism here and there.
