If the people of Venezuela WANT US oil companies to develop their oil fields or to buy the oil that results, that should be up to the people of Venezuela. Not some puppet government installed at the point of a gun ( or bomb ).

We really need to move beyond oil anyway. What the fuck is wrong with people.
