I have been following Venezuelan news in detail for several years now on a daily basis.

What is dramatic about Chávez you can get out of his own words. You'd be shocked if you heard your own president say things like: "This revolution is armed, and will use all means necessary to defend itself". This in a country that has lived in democracy since 1958, the longest lasting democracy in Latin America.

Fujimori was also democratically elected, as was Hitler. Hitler rouse to power because people refused to speak out against him. You can take Chamberlain's attitude, but it will cost you years from now, when Americans have to go to take Chávez out.

But Chávez has now lost his "legitimacy of origin" as they say, because he refuses the right of the people to go to referendum. Just like Fujimori tried cook the results of his reelection, but neither the OAS, nor the Carter Center were willing to go along with it.

Frankly, I am not too concerned about your believing my story or not. Within a few days, the Carter Center and the OAS will walk out of Venezuela, expressing their inability to certify the what they will call a government fraud against the millions of signatures of Venezuelans for changes.
