it will be to late for a peaceful transition, and it will cost thousands of Venezuelan and might be American life's.

Yes, it will be. But you have to understand how much the left in this country loves Castro. The "Che" posters are still on a lot of walls. It is a romantic version of what has happened in South America, featuring the evil, despotic right wing killer Dictators on one side, and the peace loving agrarian reformers on the other. Nothing to do with reality, but it has made a great story, and several movies. Stephen Spielberg recently returned from Cuba and said the time he spent with Castro "was the most important eight hours of his life!"

So Hollywood, the Media and Academia love the South American Left, and it will take a lot of strong evidence to get Bush to be able to move down there.
