A decent article, but Buckley always seems to understate the obvious. James Madison would have been a little more to the point, I think, as to the long-term merits of "Democracy" in Venezuela.

Until we are willing to recognize that not all peoples are equally qualified to make a modern political system work, we will continue to have a very muddled view of why the world is the way that it is.

I know but he makes his point. It's a problem we're going to deal with soon.

VERY good point. There is a reason for empire. Idiots are qualified for no more democratic forms of governance.
