Hey Dude, that is not the way to look at this situation. I know a lot of people from Venezuela and I have traveled there as recently as October 02. You are not going to find a nicer group of people on this earth. There is a political problem in Venezuela and if the opposition maintains its resolve it will be solved (Peacefully? I am not sure). In talking with friends, I have been told that Venezuelans have paid little attention to politics, but this Chavez situation has demonstrated the importance of issues and who is voted into office. If Chavez leaves office, a new leader with more democratic ideals will be demanded by the Venezuelan people.

I was not serious. I was trying to illustrate the double standard which prevails here. Many Freepers have called for nuking Mecca (i.e. killing babies on a massive scale) and few people object. In my view, killing babies is wrong whether it is in Caracas or Mecca.

As to Venezuela, I think you are right. The problem will indeed be solved in the Venezuelians are left alone to solve it.
