From FoxNews: Venezuela Says U.S. Behind Election Boycott.
Venezuela accused the U.S. government Wednesday of trying to destabilize the country by supporting an opposition boycott of the weekend's congressional elections. The United States denied the claim.

Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel alleged that the U.S. Embassy had links to moves by several opposition parties to pull out of Sunday's elections. ...

U.S. Embassy spokesman Brian Penn denied the allegations, saying the U.S. didn't "have anything to do with any of the actions of the political parties."

Venezuela's claims were the latest in a series of charges and counter charges leveled by both sides -- a situation that prompted U.S. Ambassador William Brownfield to state recently: "The United States is simply not responsible for everything that occurs in Venezuela."

As long as Chavez keeps the oil flowing into the international market, do we even care what's going on in Venezuela? Certainly, he's not going to stop, since it would hurt his nation more than it hurts ours; hell, the man is giving us discounted heating oil these days.
