You make people we're trying to help wonder about us. And as they get bolder, the people we're trying to help are going to get more uncertain. I saw this in Iraq. And I'm now seeing it in Syria.” ------------------------------------------------------------ — U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ** iDeas Lab ------------------------------------------------------------ CSIS As the 20th anniversary of Hugo Chávez’s rise to power approaches, Venezuela is suffering from a prolonged economic depression which rivals the magnitude of the Great Depression in the United States.
