Chavez should stop the referendum process

and not let it continue until the US and other foreign interests get their greedy oil soaked hands out of the country's politics. No country can be expected to conduct political business as usual with this kind of foreign involvement. The country, like Castro's Cuba, is under siege.

Chavez needs to present his case to the UN and World Court or some similar venue and then set about booting the foreign terrorists and the domestic puppets from his soil. They have murdered innocent people in the coup 2002 and tried to use the Right-Wing Press to pin it on Chavez as seen on "The Revolution won't be televised".

The US has no moral authority here so the Bush fascists need to shut up on the issue unless they agree to a referendum on the Chimp n' Chief whose status as an "elected" leader is far more dubious than Chavez's is.

1. What the BFEE only practiced overseas, Guatemala, Iran, Chile...

... and now in Haiti and Venezuela ... they started to do at home in 1963. The Little Turd from Crawford is no more than a governor, and Poppy's pals bought him that job, too.

but many here won't. There are actually people here who are anti-Chavez. Something tells me they'd be anti-Allende in the 70s and anti-Sandinistas in the 80s.

3. I wonder if the opposition suspects that they'll never win the referendum

or even the next election, but want to push Chavez to do something like this so that anti-neoliberalism can never take the moral high-ground.

I think the moral high-ground is important. But so is winning, and being in power, so that you can actually make desperately needed changes to society, and so that you can keep the fascists' greedy hands out of the pot.

It's a really tough call.
