Caracas — Fiery Venezuelan populist Hugo Chavez returned to the presidency in a conciliatory mood on Sunday after a government set up following Friday's military coup collapsed in the face of a rebellion by loyalist troops and massive protests.

The former paratrooper turned politician flew back from the Venezuelan island of La Orchila where he had been held under arrest by military top brass who briefly ousted him as leader of the world's fourth-largest oil-exporting nation in favour of mild-mannered businessman Pedro Carmona.

Chavez is an incompetent pig. However, he's also a democrat. That's why everyone preferred him to a military-backed government. Carmona's a good, capable guy, but he wouldn't have been pulling the strings of government, for sure.
