Hugo Chavez
These are some of my favorite quotes from the article(in bold)

"Still, many remain suspicious of Chavez, whose country was one of three to vote against summoning Iran before the U.N. Security Council over its suspected nuclear weapons program.

"This relationship is, in my view, quite dangerous since Venezuela has a problematic definition

Okay, so you ask the government for hookers,
I'll ask the government for Mech-sharks...
and somebody else can ask for a Hugo Chavez.
It'll be fun for the whole family.

I have no idea what you're trying to say about Hugo Chavez--your bolding is very sarcastic and confusing

i apologize for any confusion. the article i was referring to has a very supportive stance on chavez, as do i. the article also pointed out what the opposition was saying against him. i bolded these statements because i wanted to point out the ridiculous and hypocritical accusations that are being said by our government and the wealthy who stand to loose oil profits and position. i realize that usually when the bush administration says "dictator" they really mean "democratically elected leader" and when they say "democracy" they really mean "corporate imperialistic neo-liberal puppet government dictatorship". when hugo chavez made it possible for low-income people in new york, boston, and chicago to acquire heavily-discounted gas to lower their heating bills, it prompted congress to investigate for antitrust infringement and suspicious political motivation, rather than investigate every other gas company blatantly involved in winter price-gouging in this country

while I'm also a fan of some of what Chavez does and a total fan of what he stands for, you should keep in mind that while he was originally democratically elected, he now rigs elections and jails those who oppose him (although he's still quite popular).
