And this is an example of what I am talking about. It is all about the blinders. You pick a side therefore sources that show anything negative about Chavez must be attacked as "right-wing" with ulterior motives and yet your sources are okay since they come from sources you perceive as "the good guys" therefore they should be trusted. :eyes:

Obviously, I don't expect you to read the two pages of articles in one sitting but since you claim others are uninformed, you should take your time to take a look at individual issues/articles and google for reports about the specific incidents and get informed yourself. But instead, you choose to look for ways to poison the well and that is easy for you to do since everything seems to be so simple as to put a label on everything calling it either "good", "bad", "left wing", "right wing", etc. However, like I said, HRW is a place just for starters since you can go beyond and research each topic to get to the bottom of it. But I am sure you would look to debunk each and every item otherwise your simplistic world would collapse.

It is one thing if I were making a case for Colombia and/or the United States and rooting for one of the "sides" but I am merely amazed at how anyone can pick a side in all this and not wanting to see a diplomatic resolution to the problem. I think there should be a way to bring a diplomatic resolution to this crises and you don't seem to agree since you subscribe to Chavez saber rattling and his threats. So I can definitely see how a Bush and a Chavez thrive because there are people out there who are willing to question and disqualify all critics in order to anoint them as flawless. :scared:
