He's not the Hitler of our times. Not even close. I'm not a fan of his but everything he has done, every increase in power, has been handled under Venezuelan law.
The biggest threat he poses is to you, the people of Venezuela. It will be up to you to say "enough is enough" when his reforms start going to far. He was reelected in an election that was not seriously contested by the opposition, despite reports such as the military keeping polling stations open in pro Chavez precincts.
I'm very fond of Venezuela. My wife grew up in Caracas and still has family there. I've been there and would like to go back. It breaks my heart when my wife and in-laws tell me to visit before it's too late. However, as I said, it's not up to the outside world to press for change.

Simply put, South American Countries are not of concern on the national level. he may be bad, but he has no power, no reach, beyond his own borders. or at least not far enough for the rest of the world to notice. He'll never have the military or economic strength that Hitler did.
All that being said, i think its inexcusable the way he is running the country, and I truly feel for you having to live under a dictator, and not knowing the basic freedoms those of us in the US have. my heart goes out to you.
But in focusing on your question, the brutal reality is, he doesn't matter on a global scale. he isn't a threat to the ways of our society, and there's really no chance that he'll become one. So outside intervention will be very little. It may not be RIGHT, but thats the way things work in the world.
Best wishes to you.

You have my sympathies, but until Chavez is found to be directly responsible for an attack on the US, the US government won't do anything about it.
If there's a rebellion, the CIA might help the rebels, but other than that I don't see anything else significant happening. Sorry.
It's obvivous to the whole world that there is an alliance present between Chavez, Castro, Ahmadinejad, and possibly China. The unfortunate fact of the US government is that it is a reactive government. We won't do anything until you provoke us or awaken the sleeping giant. The worse part of it all is the fact most people here would rather stay asleep than wake up and actually do something.

In my opinion he is not a dictator, he is trying to create a country that is not so reliant on the u.s like every other 3rd world country. And u.s take advantage of this fact. However i do disagree with his nationalisation policy it is just going to send the Venezuelan economy backwards.

The people of Venezuelan gave him the power. The same as when we gave Georgie more power via the Patriot Act.
Who do you say should take the power away - us?

Well first of all the topic on money and world chaos. There is too much going on in the world with Iraq, Iran, and other things that everyone is just minding there own business. They don't want to get involved just like the same things are going on in Darfur, Africa, etc. The world is just too busy to realize.

I'd rather stop Bush and Cheney from creating an imperial presidency free from limits or oversight. Regime change begins at home. Once upon a time we used to have habeas corpus and laws against torture.

Chavez is not the concern of the United States. And whatever kind of relationship Cindy Shehan created with him is HER problem.
I'm sorry you have to live under a tyrant. I wouldn't want to be there if my life depended on it. Shehan is NUTS for coddling him, but then HE is the only one stupid enough to side with her. She's an activist rebel and they make a good pair. Hope she stays with him.

Mark... I feel your pain. I love Latin America, and it pains me to see what is happening. It's almost like he wants to be Noriega 2
