There is also some interesting commentary here from an atypical American who believes Venezuela is completely correct in doing this. I tend to agree as well, but I don't like the escalation this is taking or the negative toll this will have on the US.
When Bush suspended heating fuel aid to the poor people of New England, Hugo Chavez stepped in and donated fuel for thousands of homes. I personally know people who aren't freezing to death in this cold winter because of the altruism of Chavez that triumphed over the war-and-profit-mongering Bush. So needless to say, I am biased. I wonder if they will suspend the aid.
