Here, in New Zealand, we got a few column cm in our dailies around the April 14 election but now -nothing.

I understand the feelings about the international community not saying a lot at this point in time, but the world is a much different planet than from 30 years ago. With almost instantaneous communication available, and everyone knows everything that happens,it is much more difficult for any country, but especially the US, to try to influence, interfere, or even make suggestions to other countries. That there is support for the democratic party cannot be denied. However, the situation that Venezuela finds itself in can only be resolved by Venezuelans. There are many, many, many millions of people, worldwide, who are pulling for you, including me. "The right outcome" might not come this month, in 3 months, or even in a year. But after having come SO far just in the last 2 months, you must continue to fight the GOOD fight, NOT the Chavista fight. Animo a todos los venezolanos!

...in response about the international community...<br /><br />Yes Venezuela is on their own, I am from USA after living there in CCS 03 to 07 and witnessing the atrocities of the regime, noone knows or cares, they read soundbites only, people from the US who hated Bush thought Chavez was right( Sean Penn....)from the soundbytes I hate Bush but I know and I care, six years later I still read Daniel and others every day. It infuriates me even though I never had a stake or penny on the line in VZ<br /><br />It is time Venezuleans take their own country back, I am not trying to be mean but I witnessed the indifference, resignation and acceptance on how things were, I agree it is a tall order to fight this regime( non violently I hope) but i was appalled at how during the world cup I saw thousands take to the street to cheer for a country that had nothing to do with VZ the same passion needs to be used for themselves, their kids etc. <br /><br />Fight back do not give up, eventually you will succeed.

It seems the Pope is about the only one with some nerve. I understand US has not recognized maduro, but it is being criticized abroad.<br />What a curious things has happened since I came to the US. Back in the day the position of the US in international issues counted for something, and countries around the globe knew that if the US picked up their cause (like Venezuela today) to have US backing them up was a huge victory already. But the leftist, US haters here and abroad have managed to neuter the country. Most times now US don’t stand for anything, and when it does it gets dismissed by the most inconsequential clown.<br />So if what is happening in Venezuela would have happened 30 yeast ago, the US would have protested and carry the support of Europe and other democracies around the globe. It would have been the backing Capriles needed to perhaps overcome the stolen elections and save the country.<br />So the US haters have won, the US is very inconsequential. But what they did not foresee was that their countries could be taken over by the radical, progressive, fascist left, socialist of the XXI century (the most radical in their camp). Now they need something like the US they destroyed to save them, but the work was done too good and there is nobody to answer the call for help.<br />With all the “openness” of France, where is France’s hand to Venezuela? Canada? Spain? OAS? UN? UE? Who is answering the call for help from Venezuela? Nobody!!!<br />While this comment uses Venezuela situation, is the same with Argentine (they just passed the judicial reform, so now CFK can appoint a judicial system like TSJ) and Bolivia, and Ecuador, Brazil, etc, etc. They are all marching in the same direction and there is nothing that will stop them. <br />Capriles is putting a valiant effort, but you see that it doesn't matter, even to have the majority behind you (I believe Capriles won by a good margin) doesn't matter. It wont matter if they jail him, harm him or force him into exile. The crazies are in charge, they will get more radical, they are here to stay...and stay they will because we know that not even cancer can rid us of them.
