no good military leader would let this happen. i have to believe the generals are planning for options in case the september elections dont clip hugo's wings...

when the politicians control the troops...what do you need generals for?

and how did hugo ever convince the masses to go for "socialism or death"? i can see "freedom or death", but socialism?

i cant really think of any "ism" worth dying for......but i'd go with alcoholism before i'd go for socialism...

there have been many times over the years that most of us here have said "he needs to be thrown out or taken out"...i fear it may be getting too late...we now have a larger and larger fanatical base with lots of guns....venezuelas future looks uglier and bloodier every day.....

like so many dictators before him...one day everybody wakes up and says "where the hell did this guy come from? and how did it get this bad?"
