Default Should the US support Venezuelan Rebels?

With the recent closure of one and likely closure of the other major TV network in Venezuela, should the US give support to the rebels? What sort of support?

Personally, I think that Hugo must go and the sooner, the better. At this point, I don't think that it will be that difficult to topple his government and defeat the Venezuelan armed forces. Plus, there are plenty of interested foreign oil companies that will allow for worldwide support for such as move. I see this as another Noriega situation.

What has he done to hurt anyone outside of Venezuela and the oil companies whose assets he seized?

I guess the Middle East doesn't provide many lessons to some people here. Let them sort their [censored] out and we will go from there.

Blowback people

Seriously. Besides which we know what happens when the US puts its nose in and tries to "help" other countries.

Should Venezuela support US-based terrorists?

Hugo is a bad dude that eliminates the possibility of a free and prosperous Venezuela.

How about WWI or WWII or any other war? What happened after Noriega? Blowback is a weak argument. We don't need to dismember the millitary, like what we did in Iraq.
