1. Sad, but true

To add; I've been lurking here for a couple years and decided to add my 2 cents as a newbie. I speak rudimentary Spanish and have visited Venezuela, Colombia and Argentina, and have come to the conclusion that if one does not speak or read Spanish, they are not capable of understanding the nuances of a particular Latin American issue. Further, if one has never visited these places on which they pontificate, they are not in a a very good position to offer a qualified opinion. Quoting or "learning" from propaganda such as venezuelanalysis only undermines one's credibility.
