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.

Which part don't you understand?
The part where Chavez is doing everything according to the Venezuelan constitution, or what a Bolivarian is?

A US president could do what Chavez is doing, if his party captured a large enough share of congress AND of a super majority of states. If the congress passed an amendment to the constitution that made Bush President for Life, and enough state legislatures ratified it, it would be the law.
You are offering examples of countries where there has been a military coup.
Chavez can do this because the people elected so many of his people that he can have the constitution amended to his will. All quite constitutional.

And he is a self proclaimed Bolivarian, which means he wants a united South America. Now the individuals who control all those little countries down there are mostly satisfied with being big fish in small ponds, but a united South America would be like United Europe, and instant economic super power and that would most likely benefit the average South American, although the current leadership might suffer a setback.
