Dear Editor: Please Mr. Forstell -- tell us all -- which opposition party has the interest of the poor in mind?

What are their platforms for reforming Venezuela?

Where is this noble opposition?

Who are these devoted citizens that allowed Mr. Chavez to be elected in the first place?

What are their great political ideals?

If Mr. Chavez "...is concerned only with accumulating power and maintaining it," the opposition is apparently concerned only with destroying the democratically-elected party of Mr. Chavez and keeping it out of the political process altogether.

Surely you can't be referring to the likes of Mr. Carmona ... this Venezuelan patriot fled to the US at the first opportunity didn't he?

Sir, where are the opposition?

When will we see a clear plan from any one of them on the future of Venezuela?

The anti-Chavez argument is pretty tired -- don't you think?

Or are the intentions of the opposition so sinister that they must keep them secret?

Are the opposition so morally bankrupt that their privileged position and the grinding poverty that they have helped to create is what they really want to sustain?

Please enlighten us ... we all know there are "millions" of you out there ... what exactly do you have to offer to counter Chavez politically?

Only gutter talk and sabotage?
