Report: caution on U.S. sanctions on Venezuela
Slapping sanctions on Venezuela for supporting leftist Colombian guerrillas would make President Hugo Chávez more popular and diminish U.S. standing in Latin America,warns a report prepared by the Republican staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Several lawmakers, including Florida Republican Reps. Connie Mack and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, have called on the Bush administration to designate Venezuela as a state sponsor of terrorism, following reports that Chávez is supporting the FARC guerrillas. The State Department has not ruled out putting Venezuela on its list of countries that support terrorism, saying it would not make a determination until it carefully investigates the contents of several computers, belonging to slain rebel leader Raúl Reyes and captured by Colombian security forces.

Mrs Mack and Ros-lehtinen I guess you can get updates from the many dark deals that your REPUBLICAN EMPIRE did in the old days, and I am sure it got to be a lot more.

Now as proud Venezuelan more than ever, I am hoping that our government is not involved in any of those situations that you are speaking freely about and I am also wishing the best outcome for the families in the releasing of their fathers and sons and keep the excelent relation that Venezuela has with the U.S. state and looking forward to a future friendly, equal and fair relation with the Empire. .

ReplyDeleteDid the U.N.,O.A.S or the world ever asked about the evidence that were in those shredded documents from the IRAN-CONTRA scandal?
The late Mr. Reagan said he did not anything about it, that means all those illegal deals were made behind the back of the Executive of the United State and the U.S. Citizens.
You know that there is plenty of terrorism going on as we speak with exploitation, invasions, bombings and killing executed by your own goverment and also in the past there have been assasinations and overthrowing of legitimate and democratically elected governments and presidents in LatinAmerica, who had refused to surrender the country or nation sovereignity, isn't this terrorism?
Is there any almighty authority that has given your Empire the RIGHT to do whatever it wishes to the world and the world just sit down and watch?.
Let nations choose their leaders and to keep the freedom and democracy that they want or believe in and so stop telling nations what to choose and what to do with their own destiny and lives.
