David Harvey Quotes

The Coup That Overthrew President Chavez Of Venezuela In April 2002 Was Greeted With Euphoria In Washington. The New President - A Businessman - Was Instantly Recognized And The Hope Expressed That Stability And Order Would Return To The Country, Thus Creating The Basis For Solid Future Development. The New York Times Editorialized In Identical Language.
... The Coup Was Reversed Three Days Later And Chavez Then Came Back To Power. The State Department Soberly Denied Any Prior Knowledge About Anything, Saying It Was All An Internal Matter. It Was To Be Hoped That A Peaceful, Democratic, And Constitutional Solution To The Difficulties Would Be Arrived At, They Said. The New York Times Editorial Followed Suit, Merely Adding That Perhaps It Was Not A Good Idea To Embrace The Overthrow Of A Democratically Elected Regime, However Obnoxious, Too Readily If One Of America's Fundamental Values Was Support For Democracy.
