Caracas Protest

A half-million marched today in support of the recall effort against President Hugo Chavez.

I think he has a clear choice; step down or try to violently supress his opponents. The latter choice will likely lead to a long and bloody civil war.

Unfortunately, I think the answer will be the latter. I do hope I'm wrong, but I have a hard time seeing him willingly giving up his position and power.

More than likely it'll be messy. Despots tend not to do the right thing, at least not until it's too late.
