What the western hemisphere needs today...
...is to take out this two-bit, banana-republic, anti-Semitic, megalomanicial blow-hard.
If I believed for one second that his leftist, Marxist/socialist schtick was even halfway genuine, I'd just criticize him for being an incompatent, grandiose, self-important, Latin American strongman like everyone else. But I don't believe it. I think it's all a ploy to stroke the ego of a pathetic man who is entirely willing to subjugate an entire nation to crippling poverty to fulfill his own delusions of grandeur.
If the CIA really did decide to take him out, I'd be all for it. Assassinating foreign leaders isn't really good policy, but this isn't a leader. This is a clown. A dangerous, dictatoral, oil-enriched clown, but a clown nonetheless.
I second.

Posted by: Evan Donovan at March 27, 2006 09:10 PMI don't think he serves much of an actual threat. he' just a trouble-maker who hates not being bigger than his pond allows for. he'll play off of anti-Bush sentiment for as long as it takes in hopes of getting more global recognition. though he plainly hasn't the ettiqette for it.
But he has been placed meeting with the President of Iran.

A quick glance at the history of the US and Latin America would never lead anyone to assume that the US would invade or otherwise interfere with the sovereignty of Latin American states. Never.
Oh, I mean...wait.
