Well, in concrete terms, it will continue to drain Venezuela's resources, but I was only trying to capture the positive accomplishments - such as they are.AIOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-80235952785103516392011-12-04T18:26:21.045+01:002011-12-04T18:26:21.045+01:00I think this was just to measure who Venezuela can...I think this was just to measure who Venezuela can buy and who they can't. Hugo will need a lot of people in his corner come this election.They need people that may look the other way when it comes to election issues. I can see it now....Celac observers welcome, but not OAS, US or European observers.

The Castros are often revered in Left Wing circles for having brought the Left Wing dogmas to LA.Fidel Castro's larger than life image cannot be just attributed to the embargo.<br /><br />As an example, we can look at the visit of Michelle Bachelet to Fidel who came back raving about the profundity and wisdom of this great man.<br /><br />As long as the Left has this admiration for the Castros we can forget about them finding fault with Hugo Chavez.firepigettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348890269608169297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-21262790995122882672011-12-04T16:35:47.527+01:002011-12-04T16:35:47.527+01:00The problem is that many people in LA lack a sense...The problem is that many people in LA lack a sense of the absurd.<br /><br />Raul Castro and Chavez holding forth on democracy while the 2 most democratic countries of the continent are excluded...what reasons are those for doing that? ideological, racist? xenophobic or in order to exclude those whose democratic values are too strong ;)? what IS the reason? hmmm......firepigettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348890269608169297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-58592890450147472702011-12-04T16:24:16.032+01:002011-12-04T16:24:16.032+01:00And after the meeteing, do they all transpose them...And after the meeteing, do they all transpose themseves to their childhood and play in that gimcrackery in the center space of the conference tables as a teambuilding exercise?<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-54979468253641669272011-12-04T15:46:50.885+01:002011-12-04T15:46:50.885+01:00How about the Pres of Panama....telling it how it ...How about the Pres of Panama....telling it how it is....

And, if he claims he was elected by the Cuban people, when was the vote? What was the final vote tally? Who was the opposition? What were the 'choices' of the Cuban people?<br /><br />There were none. Where does this fossil derive his legitimacy for attending a Latin American summit in the year 2011? Finally, why aren't so-called journalists asking these very simple questions of this canard appearing in Caracas concerning hie efforts to supposedly represent the Cuban people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-36051296906693639102011-12-04T04:20:01.542+01:002011-12-04T04:20:01.542+01:00Chavez is not and has yet to find

That is, telling us they couldn't care less about us is actually caring enough to let us know they don't. I don't even think they care enough to even be talking to us; they're just grabbing the freebies while they are available.<br /><br />--torresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-34318434386050098902011-12-04T03:22:44.133+01:002011-12-04T03:22:44.133+01:00Le Monde?
