Even if you think Venezuela is bad

You should check out El Salvador. It's a defacto one party state ruled by the ARENA party founded by Roberto D'Aubuisson AKA Blowtorch Bob. This party is connected to the Death Squads that used to run rampant through the country.

And yet, Pat Robertson isn't calling for the death of Antonio Saca, the current leader of the Party

No National Endowment for Democracy funds are being sent down there

Bush and friends don't engage in verbal confrontations with the ARENA Party

Why is this?

2. william casey was a staunch catholic...

casey was regan's cia director......the killer of archbishop romero, murdered while saying mass, might have come to casey's not-too-nice attention.....dosing d'aubuisson's food and wine with cesium or some damn radioisotope thing, would have been fairly easy for the company

3. But the thing is Venezuela is NOT bad. They have a very popular leader,

much like our own FDR after the Great Depression, whose government is serving ALL of the people of Venezuela. What's bad about that?

It is the opposite of the fascism in El Salvador. It is democracy!

A good primer of on Venezuelan democracy, Chavez, the Bolivarian Revolution and also current news: www.venezuelanalysis.com
