What Chavez is doing is constitutional. He was given this power by the elected representatives of the people of Venezuela, under the provisions of their constitution.

If he nationalizes whatever parts of the oil business aren't already owned by the state, that will be perfectly legal, too.

Chavez is a Bolivarian, his long term goal is to unite all South America into a United States of South America, which would be a democracy modeled after the USA, and a world super power, by virtue of it's wealth, population and technology.

Is that something we should fear?

Goober, are you kidding me? Most South American countries like Peru, Brazil, Columbia, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile do not want that type of authoritarian government no where near their shores. They knew what happened to Argentina in the 1980's and to Chile in the 1990's. And China has more democratic processes in place locally than what Venezuela has currently?

Good Grief?

PS. This should not have been to any great surprise if one was watching the internal politics of Venezuela for the last 5 years. Venezuela will become another Guyana, unfortunately.
