   I was a bit surprised at that too.  I think Petras' case might be a little
on the pessimistic side, but of course he knows more about the situation than
I do.

   However, I think Chavez knows more than any of us.  Chavez seems to be
playing a pragmatic role right now.  He's survived two coups and I'm betting
he knows he's not a cat with 9 lives.  Perhaps he's thinking now is the time
to consolidate and to build his support into something more substantial?
