Are you saying that the Bush Administration would come down hard in defense of Chavez and democracy should the Venezuelan military stage a coup tomorrow?

i think that if Chavez was threatening the United States that we will all die in a "sea of fire", exited the 1994 agreement, pulled out of the non-proliferation treaty and actively pursued a nuclear weapons program while threatening the US... he would be found dead, shot in the face, lying in a drainage ditch by the roadside and the world would not lose a moments sleep for it and it would not even make the front page.

Don't doubt your scenario for a moment.
Now come back to the question I asked. Assume that the Venezuelan military stage a coup
tomorrow and installed what they would consider a friendlier government - are you confident that the current administration's commitment to democracy result in more than the murmur of platitudes necessary to present an appearance of disapproval?
