Dear Editor: The entire world is appalled at the extremely undemocratic action of the political imprisonment of those who dare to speak up and organize against Chavez.

The world recognizes Hugo Chavez's excuses for this tyrannical act as a weak.

They do not veil his mentality as a new demagogue and arrogant man who thinks that he speaks and acts for Venezuela.

The millions in the street and the polls that show the vast majority against him do not deter him.

The fact that one is democratically elected does not endow them with the right to act undemocratically.

Chavez has given himself more power than any one man should have in any one nation.

The world and those who love liberty and freedom of expression have every right to speak out against this abusive and criminal imprisonment and witch hunt.

How can one defend someone's taking away another's freedom of speech?

Chavez should have compromised if he really wanted the strike to end sooner. It appears no that he just wanted self-justification to entrench himself more firmly in power.

Communism is a lie that keeps poor people and under power by using hate against the rich.

Hate is never from God.

From someone who loves Venezuela
