Noting the enmity between the Venezuelan and US leadership, Gottberg states that Americans are "very good people." Leadership is a different matter, however. Venezuelans likely view George W. Bush similar to how Americans view Hugo Cha'vez, he says diplomatically.

The missions are prioritized to providing essential social services to Venezuelans. The clear impression from us all is that the missions are tangible evidence of the Chavez government's commitment to improve the lot of the Venezuelan masses.

Hope is what threatens US power. Hope is what drives the revolution forward.
