I started out with high hopes that he would really help the country, particularly its poor, but I became progressively disillusioned. <br /><br />MikeMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-91166424977020347632012-01-16T09:18:04.874-08:002012-01-16T09:18:04.874-08:00Mike:

I lived several years in Venezuela, during the Chavez government. <br /><br />I don't claim to be an expert on any of them. However, if one had to visit someplace in order to express an opinion about it, one could comment on few places. <br /><br />We'd all have to keep mum about the rights violations in North Korea, for example.Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-76284062750973776712012-01-12T20:50:48.189-08:002012-01-12T20:50:48.189-08:00Would love to know which of these countries, which...Would love to know which of these countries, which you know so much about, you have actually visited.Chris Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315808607788092946noreply@blogger.com
