The Venezuelan "Apartheid"

CNS News brings us the following item on the Little Man from Caracas: "Since surviving a recall referendum in August 2004, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has tracked and sought to punish the millions of Venezuelans who signed the petitions calling for the referendum, according to a human rights group from that South American country."

"We have a problem in Venezuela and it is the problem of political discrimination," said Maria Angelica Machado Uzcategui, director of international affairs for Ciudadania Activa. "It is like an apartheid there," added Machado, who spoke in Washington, D.C., on Friday." Read the CNS News item.

WHPW agrees with Machado and other advocates of freedom in Venezuela. Why is it that the people at Foggy Bottom - including former and recent regional political appointees - cannot seem to grasp the simple concept that the Little Man from Caracas is a very bad man that must be dealt a firm hand?
