Regime Change In Venezuela

Regime change--or as we call it the violent and illegal attack on a lawful government of a soveriegn nation--in Venezuela doesn't even rate a one on the "No Shit" scale.  The United States sees Venezuela, along with the rest of Central and South America as quaint and unimportant kingdoms AS LONG AS they each and every one follow every edict and every longing of the all-powerful United States.  As soon as any American nation fails to smile and politely follow orders, the US makes sure they endure maximum suffering until a more cooperative leadership takes charge (see Cuba).  Venezuela has been daring to assert an independent path for many years, and today the United States sees a golden opportunity to Venezuela and the Venezuelan people back into their proper place at the feet of the USA.
