Venezuela has had enough of the absurd revolution it had to suffer for thirteen long years. The unification of the opposition is a clear sign that this a favorable moment to end this era. there is no doubt that if Chavez loses the election times will be difficult, but there is no other way to begin the reconstruction of the country which is going to be a painfull process.
Venezuelans have learned their lesson and we all hope that the new generation of polititians will be of a different breed that the ones that presided the pre Chavez democratic times.
Colombia has made great progress in the Uribe years, let us hope that the tendency continues, more problems solved and their success in the country can become an inspiration to accelerate the demise of the Venezuelan revolution,
It looks like you people are only ones who believe that Chavez is a democratic leader, that only wants the good of his people. It is quite obvious that your writers only rely on the propanganda material you receive to write your papers. The Colombian allegation of Venezuela's relation to the FARC is absolutely correct, their presence in the borders is a reality, and the report recently aired by CNN, made by the spanish reporter is correct down to the last letter. You may also have heard of the recent death a Venezuelan countryman who died because a prolonged hunger strike because of the confiscation of his farm, while he was held against his wiil in the military hospital in Caracas.
It would be interesting, if you want to uphold your "unbiased stance" as far as Latin America politics is concerned that you gather real TIME INFORMATION of what is going on in the country.

Maybe God will somehow find a way to get rid of both Kirshner's, and allow a new face in Argentine's troubeled political picture. No body wants a permanent dinasty of presidents , we have enough of that.
