I have long been an non-fan of Hugo Chavez; his brand of populism, authoritarianism and socialism is antithetical to my deeply held convictions. Oil money has propped up his chimerical socialism, at least until now.
I will be happy to see this man recede. Unfortunately, the Venezuelan people are paying for his misdeeds.
