Daniel has an important post about the growing erraticness of dictator Hugo Chavez’s relationship with the Venezuelan military. Apparently, they can’t stand him.

Hugo Chavez is too into Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, for the Venezuelan military’s liking, and ignores the history that Venezuela’s military for years fought off this Monster at Our Door, and at Venezuela’s door, too. Castro has been nothing but trouble over the decades for Venezuela and Venezuela’s military professionals, who have expended blood and treasure to beat Castro off, and they have no intention of forgetting. This could be quite explosive. Could Venezuela’s revolution begin in the military over this? It could. Chavez is on thin ice.
