After insulting the USA and every prosperous country in the world, Hugo Chavez must seek medical treatment in that other socialist paradise, Cuba. I pray for him, his family, and his country. Nonetheless, the irony of a caudillo suffering in Cuba might make a fiction writer out of me yet. Jose de Cordoba comments:
'Mr. Chávez, who considers himself to be Fidel Castro's spiritual heir, provides Cuba with up to 100,000 barrels a day of cut-rate oil, making the island's economic survival largely dependent on Mr. Chávez's largess.
'"The two Castro brothers, who were Catholics once, must be burning a lot of candles, praying for Chávez's survival," says Riordan Roett, head of Latin American studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.'
