Evo Morales' friendship with Chavez has been cited numerous times and you can probably google the information. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. Somehow JFK and Marilyn come to mind. Not too worry, I don't think Evo will be singing happy birthday Mr. President at Chavez' party. A socialistic movement in poor counties or in hard times is not an unusual phenomena. It even happened here after the Great Depression if I recall my history lessons and the FDR social programs instituted to aid the recovery.I choose to look at this supposed problem as a buying opportunity to purchase a very undervalued stock. As I previosly posted, the strong investment commitment that SIL and CDE have made in Bolivia leads me to conclude that the threat of a political crisis is overblown.Since you yourself have traveled to Bolivia, you probably have a better understanding of the minds and culture if the indiginous indian population that represents the majority.I choose to let the bashers have their day in the sun. It is he or she who laughs last that counts.

Chavez who I would agree seems to be a nut ,to use your term,who appears to be intent on undermining the political structure of Venezuela and its neighbors

Chavez has been elected many times now, in what observers have called "legitimate" elections.

I thought we supported the democratic process. Or is that only if they elect a pro-US leader?

As far as "a nut ..... intent on undermining the political structure" Gosh, do we have to look all the way to South America to see that?

Viva Evo y Chavez tambien.

(Chavez contributes a lot to our local fuel assistance, helping my less-fortunate neighbors. It's hard to dislike a guy like that)
