Every South American nation is invited to join the Summit of the Americas. It isn't just "right wingers"... the only exclusionary Latin American group is ALBA.... Chavez' little Marxist fan-boys.

Maduro would have gone, because it would have given him a platform to scold the United States, the EU and Colombia. Now he and his ilk will have to wait for RussiaToday, VenezuelaAnalysis and TeleSewer to publish his bile.

Who wouldn't advocate for a restoration of democracy in Venezuela? The arbitrary and capricious banning of the most popular political parties and their candidates doesn't sound very democratic to me.

Are you opposed to democracy in Venezuela?
