Dear Editor: What am I missing?  I fail to understand how street rioting and open rebellion against the duly elected President of Venezuela is "democracy in action."

What am I missing?

It wasn't the sabotage of oil refineries by employees of the opposition to halt production  of the prized "Black Gold."

It wasn't the televised demand for assassination of President Chavez Frias by one of the oppositions leaders.

I didn't and haven't missed the overwhelming poverty suffered by the majority of the population for decades, while the opposition was in control.

I didn't miss the blatant attempts to paralyze the economy, with NO regard for the sufferings of the people.

I didn't miss all the attempts to force illegal early elections.

I do not miss the almost daily shenanigans of the conniving opposition malcontents, bent on destroying the democratically-elected President, at the expense of the country -- Venezuela -- and its people.

What General of one democracy would dare say such things are "democracy in action," when these things  are happening in another democracy? Certainly not one from my country! The very first attempt at such malfeasance would be swiftly dealt with, no exception.

So...what am I missing?

Where is this double standard evaluation originating?

Perhaps, it is a misquote; perhaps a typo ... or, perhaps it is just another malicious lie.

One more lie amidst a deluge of lies about Venezuela.
