I would, actually.
I think it's very important not to look at the debate as either you can have social and economic gains or you can have governance. Without the establishment of systems, of a foundation of governing institutions that will continue beyond one government, any of the gains that Chavez has seen in the social arena are likely to be lost--that is to say, they won't be continued.
That's why it's very important, and I cannot stress enough, that the debate should not be dichotomized in that way. There are certainly some social gains that are important, and those shouldn't be discounted.
Also, in comparing Venezuela with Colombia, as you were suggesting, Colombia has also welcomed in the international community. It has invited in the UN. It has invited international organizations. It has opened its doors. What is occurring in Colombia is far more transparent, and we end up getting more and more unbiased news reports on what is going on there.
As I'm sure you're well aware, even when it comes to statistics on the literacy rate, for something that basic you see a lot of conflicting numbers coming out of Venezuela. It is hard to be certain of exactly how much progress has been made.
