O'Grady on Chavez

COTTonLINE tracks what happens in Latin America. A good place to do this is Mary Anastasia O'Grady's weekly column on The Americas in The Wall Street Journal.

This week O'Grady writes about the death of Hugo Chavez and the impact of that death in Venezuela and Cuba. She isn't optimistic, see her conclusion:

There may not be much the Free World can do to help Venezuela rid itself of the terrible scourge known as chavismo. At a minimum, it could refuse to go along with the charade that the country is still a democracy with free elections.

I don't foresee President Obama taking this bold step.
