Unless you lived in Venezuela before Chavez came to power and understand Spanish, I'm sorry to say that your opinion can only be either misinformed or incomplete

    "Ruin a country". By what means, do you know anything that Chavez did?
    He improved the conditions of his people exponentially. If 'ruining a country' means evening the income differences by the little expense of the elite, and thus decreasing GDP a little, for the wellbeing of Venezuela's own folk, then yes he did.
    A good leader should prefer his people over foreign trade.

    More from my comment...it was to long for only one post:There has been famous Venezuelan scientists, musicians, writers, artists, etc., to prove that. Healthcare was always free and good (I was a doctor in Venezuela) Now people can only get good healthcare in private hospitals because the "free" one hardly have beds, people are on the floor covered with blankets waiting to be treated.

    I personally invite Mr. Penn and Mr. Stone to move to Venezuela for a month and live like a true venezuelan, with minimum salary, no insurance, no body guards, and no especial treatment from the government. I wonder if they'll make it. Will they still love Chavez after that? If you accept my invitation, I promise, I'll pray for you so you don't get abducted, robbed, killed, etc, in the process. Thank you! P.S. Bring all your friends who support Chavez, I am sure they'll love their little treat.

    What do you know about me? My whole family lives there and I lived there for a huge part of my life. I'm old enough to know what damage that man has done to my country, I'm old enough to see the sadness in the faces of my own family, and I'm young enough to know that nobody my age should have to worry so much about the safety of their own family in a country where "democracy" rules. Thanks but no thanks.

    yeah, but every country would have low employment,roads with holes, delinquency, inflation, power and water shortages, difficulty to find products, miserable salaries, policies that sell arms and buy drugs, 20.000 murdered people each year, thefts and kidnappings, and more terrible things that no country would deserve...the world would be a complete chaos if more presidents were like him!!!
