And burning shit in the streets?...and had violent leaders?...and should have come from the 1%.
Good luck with that, if it had come from the 1% in this country it would not be protesting against Wall Street...they would have been protesting against Commie Obama like the Tea Party and like the Tea Party the cops would do nothing.

The 1% want that oil back, and I am sure they will get it by force if nessesary...and things will go right back to where it was before Chavez which was not so good for the people as it was for the rich.

But the country with the highest murder rate right now is Honduras, which is twice as high as VZ...and they had their coup to depose an elected president...and the right wing are in firm control.
And it is noted just how much propaganda you have for the oppisition...not surprising sense they have plenty of money to spend on it...some of it from the CIA.
