Chavez is doing great things for his country. Through history there were many great leaders that did greater things for their country, yet its is so easy to get corrupted, derailed, or mislead. Saying NO to unlimited leadership term is vital to Venezuela.

The great change in the path of where Venezuela should go & the rarity of great visionary leaders, Chavez may need more time. I hope that he is wise enough to start grooming a candidate that can carry the torch of "Power to the people."

Evidence has surfaced that the US funded the NO campaign including student groups, you personally yourself didn't get paid, but resources in some of the group were provided. Frankly, as someone who has traveled to your country plenty of times and respects your president, frankly I think he was moving too fast and was too over-confident. His supporters instead told him--show us your record for second term first, before you get rewarded for more.

Hey, are u stupid? The students are not been paid by U.S. I'm a student and I'm move by what is happening in my country and hoping that the near future is going to be the best for each of us. I'm againstsome of Chavez's ideas because, I love my country. Unlike some others who are in a stupid war were young people are being killed and they do few about it. Move your asses(take an example).

> he wanted to take all the children who were under 3 years old and have them raised by the army,... " LOL. That was a joke right?

No that was no joke. That is what the opposition propaganda said. The student groups were mostly funded by the USA by the way. The USA spent some millions of dollars on this election. Socialism can not work as long as the USA exists.
