Today Venezuela celebrates its independence but President Hugo Chavez sure won’t be getting a card from the U.S. First, on Monday Hugito broke ground on a joint petrochemical complex south of Tehran, Iran with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Then today Washington’s top envoy to Venezuela, Ambassador William Brownfield ended his term saying he regrets he was unable to establish a productive dialogue with President Hugo Chavez’s government. Brownfeld is moving on as ambassador to Colombia, which should be a much easier job.
