I wonder if some organizations could help to mediate this conflict?
Could OPEC or the UN provide a context for mediation?
The Saudis certainly wanted control of their own oil resources -- and got it back, eventually.
I wonder about the World Trade Organization as a venue for mediation, but fear that the Corporatist's would simply use that venue as another tool to oust Chavez as a "non-compliant government leader" and put in a compliant leader.
The WTO sure seems like an organization designed to subvert democratically elected officials and legislation passed by legitimate governments.
Will this in fact be resolved in a World Court of some sort?
Will this be resolved by use of force in combination with the obvious "soft power" or economic power being thrown around by Chavez and EM?
At least Chavez offered compensation, apparently insufficient for Mobil-Exxon and Conoco.
Further negotiations are in order. Who will faciltate?
Yo everyone... I'm having some difficulty understanding the whole Venezualan oil and our potential freeze on them. We have a conversation going on at:

Go to "Elizabeth" and help us out. There's a guy on here that really knows what he's talking about when it comes to oil subsidies, and I, frankly, need some help.
Having read all the comments about Venezuela and Huge Chavez, one comes to few rather sad conclusions; the level of ignorance and prejudice expressed, relating both to Chavez's political movement and Venezuelan history, social structure, and economy is truly staggering and what little knowledge there is, is grossly simplistic and smacks of traditional Gringo atttitudes to Latin America in general.
