Comparisons with the debacle over South Ossetia and East-West posturing on phallic prominence are schoolyard at best!

While it is NOT to say that everything in the Miraflores Palace -- or indeed outside it -- is hunky-dory, apple-pie, it sure as hell isn't yet a former-Soviet satellite of Moscow ... YET!

Milos is perhaps confusing the corruption of power within the former Soviet administration that led to the final break-up and the scalings of the Berlin Walls ... and, YES, we can agree that there is a regrettable tendency within the Chavez administration to appoint Commisars and Politruks to subjugate the citizenry into blind obedience to the party (PSUV); but these are matters of domestic political protest, defiance, debate, negotiations etc., in the lead-up to the November 23 local and regional elections which MAY just imbue a greater sense of national responsibility in the Venezuelan electorate away from the rah-rah religiosities of the leftier of the Left in Venezuelan politics.

Comparisons with the international debacle over South Ossetia and East-West posturing on phallic prominence are schoolyard at best.

Milos 'The cunning fox' Alcalay is a positive force for the democratic changes that are necessary to being Venezuela back on the rails again; he's a voice of moderation and, while he may be seen by the Chavez government as having fallen flat on his face on the anti- side of the political divide, seasoned sensibilities should rather see that (comical as it might appear to the fertile imagination) Milos Alcalay is not so much breathing fire out of both nostrils as walking his own tightrope on top of the thoroughly silly barricades in his own inimitable way of trying to stage manage a perhaps unachievable unity of Venezuelan intent to rescue the inherent values of what Venezuela is truly all about ... WITHOUT the sidestepping allusions to either Moscow or Washington ... or for that matter to Timbuktu!

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
