Believe me, I am a frequent traveler to Venezuela and I can assure you that the country has lost freedom disturbingly fast and is a much different place than it was 5 years ago. Free speech is not permitted and criticizing the government (especially the presidency) is now an imprisonable offense. The place has fallen economically, is now covered with red paint and propaganda, and has more violence than ever before. As most offenders are Chavez' constituents, nothing is done. As someone who was robbed at gunpoint there last year, I know a bit about the topic. Why don't you actually do some research and talk to Venezuelans before coming to the PC, knee-jerk response that everything is the US' fault? You might learn something.....
