2008-07-05 22:35:21 - Over the course of this week, Bush's representatives have, once again, manifested their preoccupation and told the world that Venezuela is a key conduit for Colombian drugs going to the United States and Europe.

VHeadline commentarist Carlos M. Pietri writes:

The Venezuelan response to this declaration was that over the last years our country has seized great amounts of drugs ... which is the best proof of the great job they're doing.

If we took these declarations into account, we can conclude that both are right, since if the government is seizing great amounts of

narcotics, is very probable that it could be due to the existence of greater traffic through our territory.

Accepting the Bush government's statement on Venezuela as being a key conduit for Colombian drugs and with the intention of minimizing the Bush team's preoccupations, I dare to present the following proposal to President Chavez: Since the USA antidrug organizations have, repeatedly, proven their inefficiency to fight narcotics production in Colombia (and in other part of the world: Mexico, Afghanistan, etc., where it has increased after their intervention) and since Russia is collaborating with Venezuela in economics and military requirements, our country must consider asking the Russian government for the establishment of some anti-narcotics operational bases along the Venezuelan border with Colombia.

I believe that with this proposal, Venezuela would benefit from Russia's international expertise in the matter and, at the same time alleviate the Bush regime's concern for this area of Latin America.

It's a great idea, don't you think?
Surely Washington cannot fail to endorse that...

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
