surf - very simply put, i guess its about petrodollars. when venezuela's chavez moved away from the u.s. dollar, an u.s. backed coup against his government failed - he's still there. i've no doubt whatsoever that a leadership change in venezuela is a "work in progress" for the CIA. iraq was also moving away from the u.s. dollar to the euro with other arab states considering following suit. that represents a clear economic threat to the u.s. that's what i think its all about and that's why there is no political opposition in the u.s. basically its about doing whatever it takes to preserve the current u.s. standard of living. that's why bush has a free hand. just my humble opinion. rose
