while the CIA is probably involved, I think it's a mistake to see this solely in terms of CIA machinations. Venezuela is a country with a social system (classes, etc.) and this is what both CIA and Chavez have to work with. Simply pointing to the CIA is superficial. (In any event, history -- i.e., the 1973 Chilean coup -- doesn't repeat itself.) Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/~jdevine
