jc4prez Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Anyone else keeping up the developments in Bolivia and Venezuela? I don't know about anyone else but its very exciting to see these two great leaders stand up to the United States. If you aren't aware of the situation in both countries check out these posts from my blog. Bolivia and Venezuela Strike Back (this post features the developments of the past few days) The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (this post features a film about the US backed coup that took place in Venezuela in 2002. It also features Noam Chomsky's comments on the event). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
