"President Chávez is a stabilizing factor in Venezuela and stability is always a very important element in politics, not only internally but externally."
So you guys up there, just keep on believing what you want to believe, but down this way we prefer reality. And by the way, I adore the fact that I was wrong about Santos. I thought he was going to be an Uribe clone, but far from it; he's an excellent President and Colombia should be proud of both him and the choice it made at the ballot box last time around.
