#1 One wonders whether he's purged the military of all patriots and installed his communist puppets. Once the country spirals economically...and it will.... all it takes is a bullet to take him out

#3 Not going to happen. The rest of the world expects 'US' to take care of their problems. Surprise, we're not interested. If you're unwilling to liberate yourself [and let the record show that Iraqis did attempt, unsuccessfully in the south and more successfully in the Kurdish areas, liberation], then don't ask us to do it. Hugo will hose'm. All the usual suspects will at best moan and groan but will turn on a dime to criticize the damn evil US. It can be Darfur Part Two. So who cares?

#5 This article sounds entirely too enthusiastic to be realistic. What is actually happening is probably far less serious than it sounds. I wouldn't hold my breath that Chavez is on the way out.

#6 It is not the beginning of the end, but probably the end of the beginning. It will take something like the military shooting and killing a bunch of demonstrators to radicalize the general population. When that happens, Hugo just may fall.

#7 The demonstrations seem fairly limited. However, It would be good for Venezuela if he went just as it would be good for Cuba if Castro went.
