Venezuela

So, I can´t decide what I think about Hugo Chavez... There are definitely things I like about him, and I think its good to have a strong force in the Americas opposing the U.S. but the whole constitutional changes regarding presidential terms (i.e. making it possible for him to be pres. for life) sound a bit too dictatorial for my likings. Latin America has seen too much of that already. I guess we´ll see what happens with the referendum on Sunday. And I´ll have to read more about him to see his policies and relations with other countries. (He´s quite the buddy of Daniel Ortega, pres. of Nicaragua and has promised financial and development support... which the country needs..but.. I just don´t understand these things well enough!)
