If Hugo Chavez wasn't in charge some US puppet would be in charge most of the countries recurses would be controlled by the US while the poor are neglected of course its always going to come back to the US. Why are they so interested in Chavez and trying to get rid of him and Castro..... If it doesn't matter who the US harbors than I guess it doesn't matter who Chavez chooses to harbor. Those people you consider rebels are considered freedom fighters by others.
Where am I saying that "it doesn't matter who the US harbors?" I'm telling you that it does not factor in to the argument. South America is not in charge by "US puppets", the whole area is progressing towards socialism at the moment. Look at Brasil's president for example. From what I understand, you fully support socialism and communism, and there is nothing wrong with that. But it is more than just putting roofs over peoples heads. Sure, you may think that the people in Venezuela are happy. Let's say they are completely content with everything Chavez does for them. What about the things that Chavez does with the nations money, when he funds different rebel organizations, drug trades, and other obviously illegal things? You are agreeing with the fact that he should be able to grant illegals the power to vote for him. If you want to argue this, you need to X out the United States and what they do with other countries, who they harbor, etc. We are focusing on Venezuela only.
The people considered rebels are indeed freedom fighters to others. Does that make what they do right? The FARC is considered a terrorist group in over 30 countries, Colombia included. They believe that they are fighting for a good cause, which most movements like these tend to think. But in the broad scheme of things, they are not changing anything, and the more people they kidnapp, the worse it all becomes. A way to free a country of poverty does involve a president who can put food on people's tables, and roofs over thier heads. But is that all he must do? He must be able to control a countries cash flow, help its economy stabilize, and must also eliminate crime. Do you know one of the issues that Chavez rarely comments on is the crime in Venezuela? He hasn't been able to control that aspect of society. People are still dying, but he's too busy counting out how much he's making by jacking up the price of oil, selling it, and seeing off the dollars into his pocket and the pockets of people like Evo Morales.
