17. You did read that it was a tax agency *in Venezuela*. |

Do you think that somehow the Venezuelan tax agency operates on principles different from the tax agencies in the rest of the world? That it has no connections whatsoever with the rest of the Venezuelan government? That Chavez is so far beyond the petty politics of the remaining 190 or so countries in the UN that he need never be suspected of playing politics?
Chavez is following a pattern. The pattern is still ambiguous; it might go in one of at least two different ways. I'm not going to prejudge the direction, but insist on acknowledging the ambiguity.
