I am not a supporter of Hugo Chavez, but it is spurious to compare him to the names you mentioned. Despite the demonization of Chavez, he does display a modicum of respect for liberty and the Venezuelan Constitution. Yes, term limits for elected officials have been removed, but there are other means of recourse available for the citizens of Venezuela. If I remember correctly, your Constitution allows for a recall of elected officials including the president. There was a recall election against him in 2004. Let us not overreact to the results of this referendum.
