Reply #13: no, they are being stacked by Chavez

go back to Human Rights Watch and check out more articles on Venezuela.

I doubt many here would be supportive if Bush tried to implement the same controls, restrictions, and "reforms" here in the USA.

Colombia has more serious problems than Venezuela. Namely, a 40 year old civil war. I am sure the Colombians will appreciate any suggestion on how they can improve on the peace process.

I note a difference here in that Uribe has been working at least obstensibly within the confines of the law, not so for Chavez who simply changes the law or procedures if it is not to his own liking.
