One way or another. The sooner, the better.<br /><br />That's, of course, up to the higher powers that be. Just a couple reminders:<br /><br />How many get killed every week in Vzla? (compare that to Iraq or Afghanistan), What about if, God forbid, one of our dear friends or family members are severely hurt, directly because of this brutal Chavez regime? <br /><br />How many people's quality of life went down dramatically, from middle-class to barely surviving, with incalculable health-related consecuences, especially for the not-so-young, since this ailing bolivarian.. guy grabbed power in Vzla? <br /><br />Who's really praying every night for Thugo's well-being? but that's up to nature. Let's just say, the longer this dictator is breathing, and in power, the longer many other of our people won't breathe or live nearly as decently as they could. No joke. How many are gonna be dead next weekend while Chavez keep making jokes?Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661701391364214093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-2996029990902903162011-10-18T19:43:32.624+02:002011-10-18T19:43:32.624+02:00Kepler said:
