How many investors and companies decided to wait out Castro when he was dismantelling his country in the early 60.s with the illusion that the people of Cuba and their economy wouldnt stand up to it and he would be gone in a few years.Give your head a shake man! A few weeks ago i was chatting with a Ven woman who has an university degree and is well off compared to most.I ask if she understood what Chevez was doing to international investments and the Ven economy with his actions.I said that Ven was heading down the same road as Cuba did.Her reply? "I hope so,. Chevez is a hero". Go figure that response,i didnt know how to respond.

So for any out there that honestly think that Chevez will be gone soon you should read some history books,because history always repeats itself.
