Chavez's credibility internationally has already been destroyed. It is Chavez's domestic credibility which must now be undermined.<br /><br />In the face of such a personal challenge, Chavez can only:<br /><br />1. Ignore it, which makes him look impotent (and his ego won't allow that), or<br /><br />2. Steal something else of Arria's in Venezuela, which makes him look childish, and further proves his point.<br /><br />Either way, it is a win-win move that, I suspect, was carefully planned.Roynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-7820834632886691632010-06-24T17:21:13.919+02:002010-06-24T17:21:13.919+02:00I cannot agree more with Mr. Arria.
