U.S. General Warns of Venezuela Authoritarianism

On Venezuela, [Gen. James. T. Hill, head of the U.S. Southern Command], described the street protests during the two-month general strike that crippled Venezuela's economy as, ``for lack of a better term, democracy in action.'' The strike crippled oil exports in what had been the world's fifth-largest oil exporter.

Hill created a stir in Venezuela last week when he said terrorist organizations were operating on the country's Margarita Island, as well as in border areas of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Venezuela's foreign minister, Roy Chaderton, called on him to provide evidence.

Democracy in action? If Anti-War Protests cripple the U.S. economy for months will he also describe that as democracy in action?
