Reply #87: can you recommend a history book

that will detail the current (this is 2007, isn't it?) military threat by the United States against Venezuela?

cause funny thing, anytime I mention the historical precendents for strongmen in Latin America who start acting like Chavez, I am told that this is different, because it is now, not the past. but you want to use past threats to justify the same thing. how do you reconcile that?
