On the flipside...

Venezuela needs to learn from its southern neighbor, Chile, and elect a more moderate president. Once again, President Hugo Chavez is gearing up for a fight. As he continues to alienate the rest of the world by allying with radical regimes around the globe, thinks continue to look worse and worse for Venezuela. Although Chavez has largely remained within Venezuelan law (or has at least appeared to), his increasingly rabid rhetoric seems to demonstrate a move towards a new authoritarian regime. For the stability of Latin America and the world, let's hope not.

Washington Post article on the subject.
