The leftist tone of this article gave me allergy. As a Venezuelan that emigrated to another country to escape from the disaster that the so called socialism (which is more like a pseudo-comunism) was installing on the country, I cannot be balanced with the words of the author when he uses Chavez and embargo in the same statement. All I saw in 12 years was a horrible government that had in USA the perfect excuse to cover his negligence.

I understand your feelings fellows US citizens, but please don't over-correct your bad government with another 10 times worse. That's what we did and we regret that every day.
