    If it wasn't for Changes Venezuela would still be shining US boots, it always pays to not put your eggs in one basket. Chavez is a great leader we hope to see him in power and healthy for years to come. Congratulation Venezuela for not letting Venezuela become Libya in 2001. And for supporting a great leader.
