You'll see there is very little chance of a significant drop in the price of oil, now or ten years from now.

Generally, I like Chavez a lot more than I like his detractors. Chavez is fighting his own upper class and the US government in a country where the oil industry has typically had more power than the government. I can't prove it, but believe that he is most likely the target of a concerted disinformation campaign funded by BushCo and the oil companies. It would explain the way most stories about him are slanted to the right.

Every move Chavez makes is under a microscope and anything at all that might be negative is blown out of proportion.

It kind of reminds me of the way our press covered the Gore campaign in 2000.
