NOTE - that's based on rumors and has not been confirmed.

I suspect it's true and hope that there's not a bloodbath upon his passing.

Hopefully Chavez's passing will herald in a new sustainable era of democracy in Venezuela

Are you sugesting that what he replaced was better?

And while we are at it, King Hussein died of cancer in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, USA.....so the blathering and simpering isn't quite upto the rather usual sub-par level.

Hopefully, they'll pick someone better thes time aorund.

I don't know whether Cuban medical care is good or bad, but cancer's a bitch. Losing the fight against it isn't unexpected.

I hope when he dies there is an orderly democratic transfer of government.

I believe there is no doubt that there is good reason for the Venezuelan people to distrust America and American business but times have changed and we could form a partnership that would benefit both countries based on mutual respect if only given the chance.

It can be the time for forgiveness and cautious optimism about our future rather than the bitterness of the past.

Where exactly in my post is such a thing even inferred, much less suggested? It may be bordering on rudeness to suggest you make more effort to read the posts you are replying to but its still worth saying.

Time for the US oil companies to line up and take a number. They will be after those oil fields before the body is cold.

Actually, Butch, the Venezuelan people that I have met (Mostly ballplayers) and the Americans I know who have travelled down there all say the same thing. The rank and file Venezuelan people like Americans.

ETA It's kinda similar to the old USSR. We heard all this stuff on the news when I was growing up about "Godless Commies" and how they hated us but the few folks I knew who travelled there said the Russian people were REALLY nice and liked Americans.

Status: offline 		Chavez, a dictator? You do realize he is democratically elected, yes? In elections certified as free by the Carter Center, no less. No, what you're all mad about is that social democracy is actually working. During Chavez's administration, the unemployment rate has been cut in half, literacy and education among the people have skyrocketed, and living standards have improved greatly. Doesnt sound so horrible to me.

I am pretty sure the German one would qualify for that, too.
