Matt, you cant expect Chavez to make a perfect nation. Nobody is able to undo the colonial and corrupt history of latin america overnight. Your murder stats are irrelevent, just like the mall shooting in Omaha is irrelevent to the presidency of George Bush. You are smarter than that Matt,

I know you'll never accept it, Andrew, but Chavez's actions make it quite clear that Chavez's number one priority is Chavez.

On the contrary, i think he is a politician like any other who wants power and glory. I acknowledge that. But his actions and the improvements he has made in the quality of life in Venezuela speak for themselves, beyond the fact that he is politician, he is also motivated by genuine bolivarian ideas. He is fiercely interested in Venezuelan independence and the improvement of life for those victimized by colonial powers.
You seem to lack any genuine perspective on the history of this part of the world.
