As I have said, we cannot deny that Chavez was elected legally in 1998.

But we must remember that after the spontaneous uprising of 2002, he lost credibility because it was Bush, and Blair who restored him to power so that they can concentrate on killing people for oil in Iraq.

I'm not entirely sure that everyone would let that go unchallenged Roberto. Some would say that Buh would have wanted the coup to succeed, still others might say that Bush was behind the 'spontaneous uprising'.

The films I saw showed a spontaneous uprising [as in Romania 1989]. What happened was that Bush and Blair stated: "This has gone too far". Other Republican And Democratic Insiders wanted to resolve the Venezuelan Uprising so that they could concentrate on Killing People for Oil in Iraq. This is how the Big Power actually operate.

Watch "The Revolution will not be televised" then tell me the Bush was the one to restore him to power. If you watch how incredibly distorted the facts were in the media you'll see how ridiculous it is to say that Bush wanted him back in power. The people that had taken over after Chavez was taken were businessmen that agreed with Bush's politics. It was the people and the loyalty to Chavez that brought him back into power.

I can assure you that bush did not want chavez back in power. As well as "The Revolution will not be televised" you can also watch "The war on democracy" by john pilger they can both be found by searching for them on google and they both explain the facts clearly.
