President Hugo Chavez seized a unit of American food giant Cargill on Wednesday and threatened to take over Venezuela's largest private company, renewing a nationalization drive as the OPEC nation's oil income plunges.

Chavez's clash with the food companies, demanding they produce cheaper rice, came less than three weeks after he won a referendum on allowing him to run for reelection and marked his first nationalization in seven months.

"I warn you this revolution means business," said Chavez, whose government has struggled with lower oil income and minor food shortages this year.

Countries are to be run by their government. There is no reason any country need to allow foreign investment. If they want to be an island then so be it.

My vote - Every American country should stop doing business with all Commies including Venz.

Because the US is totally innocent when it comes to South America... Absolutely no hint of flooding local markets with subsidised produce, undercutting local suppliers and driving them out of business, for instance. Nor even the slightest suggestion that there have been US inteligence sponsored coups on governments that you don't like...

In short: Suck it up because your own governments actions made this happen.
