Jul 01st, 2011 - 05:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0As someone who lost his mother to cancer I say get well soon Mr Chavez.
Jul 01st, 2011 - 06:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0It may be that Chavez genuinely thinks Venezuela is too immature a country to be able to handle democracy;
Jul 01st, 2011 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0or maybe his brand of socialism can only be introduced and sustained by removing democracy, replacing it with a pseudo-democratic dictatorship.
In any event, Chavez's (terminal?) illness presents an opportunity for a new start for Venezuela.
He and the other rulers of this dictatorship CAN make the move to joining the 'real' world, turning their backs on the failed (communist)/dictatorships (USSR/Cuba/Iran/North Korea/etc) .
Venezuela's dictatorship has made a few rich and kept the vast majority of the Venezuelan people very poor in a very oil-rich country.
Freedom loving people hope that the parasitic, Socialist Chavez has a rapid and painful death. The devil awaits him. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy and oppressed freedom. Hasta la vista Parasite.

However, he is a man as am I and although I cannot stand the man or his politics I still have to wish him well in what is a difficult time for anyone; whether I like them or not.
