Vzla: I'm going to tell on you!

The government of President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday it will file a complaint with the Organization of American States, accusing the United States of meddling in Venezuela's domestic affairs.

Venezuela's ambassador to the OAS, Jorge Valero, said he plans to present proof that Washington has given financial and logistical support to opposition groups pushing for Chavez's ouster.

"Democratic rules must be respected. It can't be permitted that a foreign government is breaking them and supporting groups that try to destabilize the democratic institutions in Venezuela," Valero said.

Citing documents obtained under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, Chavez has accused the National Endowment for Democracy, an American nonprofit agency, of interfering in Venezuelan affairs by funding opposition groups. The endowment receives U.S. government money.
How can Chavez be expected to effect a thorough gutting of Venezuela's constitution if U.S. organizations don't respect democratic rules? Huh? Huh? How? How can he complete the oppression and enslavement of Venezuelans if outside forces won't leave him alone? The only help Chavez needs is from Castro, his mentor in democratic rule and praxis. Who needs the stinkin' ol' National Endowment for Democracy? Huh? Huh? Not Chavez.
