Vzla: Goodbye to all that

Many people have died in the last six days and judging the behaviour of Hugo Chavez and his minions many more will. The country has been thrown on a rollercoaster, no one knowing what the ruthless and whimsical president will do next. A string of stupid acts of government's officials have demonstrated that the system prevailing in Venezuela, as it stands today, is not one that could be defined as democratic. When one sees the top judge of a country dismissing others, for the annoying reason of enforcing the law, one realizes that something is terribly wrong.
...
A positive outlook has come out of the tragedy; Hugo Chavez can no longer fool anyone, lest of course the brainwashed leftists for whom Chavez’ make believe stories are so thrilling. His democratic mascara has been washed with Venezuelan blood.

Aleksandr Boyd needs to read the Caribbean press which seems to be quite supportive of Chavez. Something about lawfully elected president, constitutional process, and rule of law.
