Let's make things clear: are you saying that an attempted military coup against an elected President was justified because of corruption in that very same military (certainly not Chavez's fault), and because of disagreement over economic policies? Is that your idea of democracy? If I disagree with an elected government's economic policies, my responsibility as a citizen is to vote for someone else next time, not to support the goverment's overthrow by generals.
