A message to free people of Venezuelle and their president Mr Chavez

By HAKAN SUSLU, Jan 7th 2009

Dear free people of Venezuela

I am a Turkish person who lives thousands of miles away of you.

Today, I have opened the newspapers and I saw something

'Venezuela expels Israeli ambassador over Gaza.'

Now, when I read this, in the same time I was reading the terriyfing news about the murder of civilians those include women, men, elderly people and most upsetting is, the kids, by the unlawful and unjustified invasion and attack by Isreali Army. This horrible war machine is killing everyone regardless of been in a hospital or in a school or in a church or mosque.

Venezuelan Troops in Gaza

By C.B. Anderson, Jan 7th 2009

I was wondering if President Chavez could lead by example, and deploy some Venezuelan troops to Gaza.
If President Chavez would take this first step by a troop deployment to help protect the people of Gaza, perhaps this would compel some of the Arab/Islamic countries in the region (such as Syria) to take the pressure off of Gaza and draw Israeli forces away by military action of their own.
In this way, maybe he could even "shame them" into doing something for Gaza instead of those nations standing around seeing what will happen next.

Hostage or Prisoner of War?

By Tom Burke, Dec 13th 2008

Dear comrades at Venezuelanalysis,
Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner? I think you are confused on the matter and mistakenly use the term "hostage" when talking about the "prisoners of war" held by the FARC-EP. There is a civil war in Colombia and there are prisoners of war held by both the FARC-EP and the Colombian state. There are 7200 Colombian political prisoners and prisoners of war being held in the prisons of the corrupt and criminal President Uribe. This makes the small wealthy elite of Colombia very happy.

Assessment

By John Richmond, Nov 25th 2008

Dear Venezuela Analysis,

Congrats on some great pre and post election coverage of the recent regional elections on your web site. The questions is: what does it all mean.

If we take a step back to 10 years ago many of us can remember what a different place Latin America was. Much has changed, most especially in Venezuela.

Nuclear Power is Not the Way to Go

By Rolland Miller, Nov 10th 2008

Recently Hugo Chavez, whom I admire, has suggested that Venezuela needs to build a nuclear power plant for energy needs in the future.

Do not do it!

Nuclear power is probably the worst way to produce power when one takes all factors into consideration.

-very, very costly to build safely

-has a short useful life before having to be replaced, or exspensively updated. only to be replaced at great cost in a few years.
