Hugo Chávez and Us ::: Why Venezuela Matters

I lived in Caracas during Hugo Chávez's attempted coup d'etat, and I've watched him go from a symbol of hope and change to the darker tyranny he now promotes. With sympathizers of his in positions of power here in America, both in Hollywood and in D.C., attention needs to be paid to the merging people and themes. Focus will be on Mark Lloyd, Oliver Stone, and William Ayers.
