Ok Tom, let's say Venezuela does go Marxist. We've discovered in the past few decades that communism simply doesn't work so the regime you obviously don't like is basically blowing it politically and economically and are setting themselves up for a fall. Why would you be concerned?

What I've observed is the communist countries we don't directly clash with and play silly embargo games with seem to slowly evolve from their political experimentation with Marxism. On the other hand, the country we continually harrass and isolate for their Marxist ways (Cuba) hasn't budged a bit.

History seems to prove that often inaction in other country's affairs is better than getting involved.
