Thanks ... weird site, froze my browser, had to shut down and restart, then loaded some finally but couldn't read much as pages had no scroll bars, vertical or horizontal .... caught a bit of it though, enough to see the nervous tone, yes
Here's another, from which i got the Crimmins piece - vheadline.com ... run by an ... um, eccentric irishman out of Vancouver, largely in support of a heavily promoted gold company, in the past anyway
Couple of venezolanos i know have spoken of life under Chávez, one at the end of a long explanation of how and why it was possible to do his business there still, and with english as a third language, said 'but the man is nots' -g- .... and that's a fair assessment imho ... still, i think there is too much pressure out of the US on the -ism aspect of it, not enough recognition of how popular he is with the people, not enough awareness of the ultimate risks in supporting the caudillos who have their own distasteful -ism, never mind what they say ... it's different there, that's just a fact to accept, Venezuela poses no more threat than did Nicaragua, and her affairs are for venezolanos to decide |
