This recall vote sounds very much like a partisan effort to have him removed because they simply don't like him. <br /><br />I'm not saying the possibility isn't there that he could turn against the interest of his people but I'm not going to make accusations either way when I don't live in the region. These posts are meant to highlight the fact that religion is a big factor in these issues and is being used as political football.

Chavez has hardly been acting heroically, or democratically, and seems to be of the "one man, one vote, one time" school. I'm not saying we should intervene in Venezuela; I am saying it's not as one-sided an issue as you presented it.
