I've lived in Bolivia for a year when Evo Morales was already president. I've also been to Venezuela.

Assuming the CIA won't try to actually abduct him there and Morales will stay in power, Bolivia is a perfect choice in many ways. Morales is totally trustworthy. The country is very safe and less militarized than Venezuela. Policy is somewhat more moderate, basically based on social democratic ideas as they are seen in Europe. There is a history of corruption, but this is mostly in the lower layers of government and police and elections are probably not affected.

Venezuela, however, can actually protect him once he is inside the country. Bolivia probably can't.

I am bolivian and live in Bolivia, this is one of the most accurate comments about my country I've read from a foreign.

If you have questions about how is here, I will try to be as objective as I can. (Disclaimer: I am not into politics, I am a geek/hacker :) ).

Why do you think Venezuela can protect him better than Bolivia?
