Probably only educated Americans care about this issue, but here's my 2-cents' worth. Let's encourage Hugo Chavez to keep doing what he does best - screwing his country. By nationalizing Cemex's plants in Venezuela, he's sending a strong signal to businesses not to invest in Venezuela. It's clear as day, unless you're blind (no offense to the visually impaired). Eventually, the economy will go to hell and the people will kick him out. Then another idiot will replace him. Ad infinitum.
On a related note, the miracle of Singapore was only possible because of serendipity - Lee Kuan Yew. He's not perfect, but he was the right man at the right time. Question is, can we maintain the miracle. I hope so.
