I live in Caracas and very unhappy about how the World sees and handles the Venezuela situation.

Very interesting to hear from someone who's there for a change... you should see what the Europeans (at least the French) have been reading, especially in le Monde Diplomatique (pretty much a reference for the extreme left wing, pro communist, obsessional anti-american point of view.)

All I can say is good luck, hopefully there can be something like a peaceful transition in the end.

I really feel that the South (and Central) American countries will be important allies for the US going forward. This is partly due to demographics, as there are many Hispanics living in the USA now. While we are still closer to Europe than any other region of the world in ethnic and cultural makeup, important shifts are taking place in our lifetimes. The present urgent problems with Islamist extremism shouldn't make us lose sight of these trends and what they will mean for us and our children.
