Kristoff's piece today is particularly interesting. Not new news; but certainly news we need to keep in mind.

I agree with most of what you said and it is true about the mobs and the bottles, sticks, stones and iron bars I would like to add that I participated in most of the marches that took place by the opposition in Venezuela and we DO NOT carry any kind of weapons, stones ,etc.. we carry a flag and flowers, you should be aware that most of those Chavistas Mobs are not really the normal Chavistas followers But hired Thugs , the same ones that killed 19 unarmed opposition civilians on 4-11. It is a Chaves strategy to arm those Thugs ( many of them with criminal records) in order to scare the opposition and form his private Militias , like the ones Hitler formed with Rohm and the SA
