The US would scream it's guts out if a foreign country announced it's goal of assassinating the US President. The US has been involved in assassinating any number of foreign leaders, including Chavez.

That the US is financing the Venezuelan uprising is simply a matter of fact. Money and people, and purchased influence.

The Venezuelan sin? NationaliZing the oil industry so that the profits will flow into programs for the people of Venezuela instead of mega-oil.

Anyone who believes what the American press prints is being misled. Remember Iraq. Remember Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tillman, ad infinitum.
