President Chavez Boots Out U.S. Ambassador

Great Debates
1

I saw a small news item from AP that says that President Hugo Chavez is giving the U.S. Ambassador 72 hours to leave Venezuela.

Is this just business as usual or is this the first act in an escalating series of events?

Could this be President Chavez’s reaction to the attmpted coup he claims he discovered against him?

Chávez has expelled the American ambassador in solidarity with Bolivia who did the same thing earlier. See Bolivia and Venezuela to expel U.S. ambassadors.
