Tracking Broken Promises
So, as we move towards Friday’s big flashy launch of Chávez’s pet Organization of American but Not North American States, I keep thinking someone, somewhere should be keeping a kind of searchable archive of crazy-ass regional integration schemes Chávez has promised that came to nothing. We can all remember the insane plan to send a natural gas pipeline from Caracas to Buenos Aires but avoiding Brazil! Of course, there are any number of others…
So, in my ignorance, I ask you, the reader: Is anybody keeping track of these systematically? And what’s your personal favorite broken regional-integration-scheme promise?

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
