heddatastic	"Chavez invested Venezuela's oil wealth into social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs. But those gains were meager compared with the spectacular construction projects that oil riches spurred in glittering Middle Eastern cities, including the world's tallest building in Dubai and plans for branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi." Associated Press business reporter Pamela Sampson (3/5/13) Jesus Wept a typical example of the West reporting on Chavez...the swine spent money on citizens but not hideous (and unsaleable and vacant) skyscrapers as in Dubai. case rested.
Ben 9	A final thought from Ben, hedda. The annual Caracas homicide rate is now 220 per 100,000 - the highest in the world. Simple reason - very few police. When I was there - over 4 days, I saw only two policemen, in a jeep. In NYC for example, the homocide rate is less than 4/100,000. Because, when strolling down any Manhatan street, you'll see dozens. Walking, on horseback/motorcycles on in vehicles. No hedda, avoid Venezuala for the moment: But it should improve after Chavez, if its oil reserves (2nd only to Saudi Arabia) are better utilised.
