    Venezuela Operation Underway

    No doubt there are differences, but it is hard for me to compare it to Iraq simply because countries like that have major religious and idealogical differences between their population that truly hate each other. When one gets power then they treat the other poorly. Similar to Yugoslavia that...

    Venezuela Operation Underway

    Fair comments and obviously time will only tell the ramifications. It is interesting to note that we did the same thing in Panama and that seems to have worked out well for that country

    Why can't you make a point without insulting people? Putting down someone who doesn't agree with you is the sign of an insecure person, the experts say.

    Don't read too much into it. All the other races were in solidly Democratic states and it truely would have been an upset if a Republican won. Would have gotten a better read if some purple states had governor or mayor elections.
