Friedman claims that Venezuela is part of a sphere of non-democratic petro-autocracies.
No, Tom, no. Hugo Chavez willingly accepted that he did not win a referendum last year to expand his powers.
That said, Tom, your neo-neo friends inside the U.S. government, who backed the coup against Chavez four years ago, tried to make Venezuela into a non-democratic petro-autocracy, but you’ve seen fit not to mention that, either then or now.
Just remember that however flat the world is, it’s not as flat as Tom Friedman’s head.
