95. I have lived in a second world country. Your misunderstand the corruption there. That is not "eviden
The fact that you know someone who likely was a corrupt government official in Venezuela says little about Chavez personally. Venezuela has had a history of turmoil and high crime due to all of the instability in that part of the world. We are as responsible for that as anyone. It will take many years and a lot of work to change that. It does not happen in a short time.

It may be that he is not working hard enough to rout police corruption, and that might be a legitimate criticism, but what you mention does not prove his culpability. Only that Venezuela is still dealing with social problems that are not easy to solve. Just like American Crime, which is also severe.
