Dear Editor: Having been a frequent visitor to Venezuela (our vacation of choice) for many years, and having stayed there as long as several months at a time, I have had opportunity to observe Mr. Chavez, his wife, and his children from a position standing directly next to them.
- I want to stress quite plainly that I was very impressed with all of them!
- I am impressed by their genuine sincerity!
- I am impressed by them as people who are truly doing all they can to bring about needful changes in the country and in our world.
Speaking as a life-long American citizen, who becomes more and more ashamed of letting that fact be known as time progresses, I want to thank you for reporting the facts and the truth, and for giving Mr. Chavez a chance in spite of all the really bad guys who keep writing to slam him with their 'smart alec' comments.
I used to think USA to be a great country, until I began to see how many people here think they are so smart that they can tell other countries how to run their business. Such blindness and conceit is the worst form of irresponsibility.
Nothing is more sickening than several recent letters you have recently published from Americans who insinuate they are smarter than Mr. Chavez.
It just shows how truly blind they really are!
They have NO idea of what he is up against, or the extent of the corrupt propaganda trying to help oust him (so the rich and powerful can become much more wealthy and powerful).
I am sorry to be from a country where the blind are generally the most outspoken, but I want you to know there are many multitudes of us here in the US who are PROUD of VHeadline for standing up against such people.
We would rather they not even be heard from on your site, but understand your reasons.
Keep up the good work!
