so, you think the US would invade Venezuela despite Chavez's threat to cut off their oil exports to the US? Or with Jimmy Carter actively trying to mediate the referendum crisis dispite Chavez's machinations? Chavez keeps claiming that the opposition doesn't have enough valid signatures to require the referendum despite Carter's insistance that they do. And moving the vote, apparently hoping to push things past the constitutional deadline for the referendum. Protests in the streets, I see. Hmmm

Actively sponsoring Columbian groups recognized as terrorists, visiting both Iraq and Libya back in 2002, this Chavez is a pretty interesting character. Venezuela certainly has gone to hell in a hand basket since he took over.
