#2 It's like some of the tinpot dicktators made a bet who will ruin a country better. There is ZimbaBob's achievement to match and overcome.

#3 The land seizure is part of an agrarian reform effort led by President Hugo Chavez.

Why is the guy still being called "President"? Seems to me they're past that stage.

#5 "....this guy is a very nasty piece of work."

And this is why his propaganda effort and activities in this country (US) must be stopped:

Chavez is working two fronts (similar to the followers of the Religion of Pieces).
He has set up shop here in the US through his infamous Bolivarian Circles. The latter with the help of the American left have mounted a disinformation campaigh that the Saudis would be proud of.

Across Latin America the winds of change are blowing - and nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in Venezuela. After decades of harsh economic
policies and poverty on the rise, people across the hemisphere are electing leaders to take them in a new direction. Social movements are clamoring for social justice and people's rights - including the right to share in the natural wealth of the nation. In Venezuela these movements came to the forefront and elected Hugo ChÃ¡vez President in 1998. But much turmoil has unfolded since then. "

He has even recruited the YMCA to further his propaganda:

"Social Movements in Venezuela - this Spring Break!

#6 Why are the USA tolerating another Marxist tyrant in the Americas?

It should be a top priority to eliminate him. Just as Bin Laden and Zarqawi are enemies of our freedom and deserve death.

Or shall we wait until Cambodia II takes place in South America?

#7 Or shall we wait until Cambodia II takes place in South America?

We can wait. After all, Peanut Head Carter certified that Fidel Jr. actually "won"...
