It was interesting to watch Miss Colombia, and Miss Venezuela as the finalists. Because of the achievements of the Colombian government to enforce democracy, I would have also cheered for Miss Colombia if she had won. Miss Venezuela's family were unable to travel to Vietnam and they stated personal reasons kept them from joining their daughter at this event. Humm, I wonder if infamous Chavez's government services like "Comision Administrative de Divisas" (Cadivi http://www.cadivi.gov.ve/) blocked the parents from attending the contest.

Colombian President Uribe and infamous Chavez met in Venezuela as reported by the following press links:

As expected Chavez is behaving like his infamous self, and Weil cartoonist may have the best cartoon of all:

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.

Cordially,
