keep an eye on chavez

Chavez is an interesting character. This article is titled "Chavez Stokes Confrontation Over US Role in Venezuela." But Chavez has good reason to be suspicious of the American administration, as we all do. It remains to be seen whether he's another demagogue or not, but many signs show him to be an interesting innovator for new forms of development in Latin America -- various combinations of socialism with capitalism. Keep watching. There may be a lot we can learn here.
