170. That story and many like it certainly are propaganda. Without knowing

a whole lot about the Bolivarian Movement, my concern is that if they murder Chavez that the whole movement may collapse, similar to what happened with Dr. King in this country.

The danger of pinning a movements viability to the energy, vision and charisma of one person is pretty obvious. When the person ceases to to exist the movement often dissipates.

It hard from here to tell if that is the case or not in S.A., especially when most of the news stories published focus entirely on Chavez and almost never on the movement he is associated with in the pubic consciousness.
