Chavez is a 'bully-boy' dictator who uses the 'hobnail' boot to keep his own citizens in their place and HE calls GW the devil ... c'mon get a life.
This was propaganda pure and simple to garner support and backing from the countries who ARE members of the UN that should NEVER been allowed to become voting members.
NOT ONE SINGLE NATION HAS EVER BEEN TURNED AWAY FROM THE UN BECAUSE OF THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS STANCE AND NON-DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED GOVERNMENTS.
These were the nations Chavez was playing to.
As far as picking on GW (you all know where I stand where he is concerned) ... but ... even I look at Chavez's rant as an attack against America and all American citizens.
The right for him to have his beliefs is NOT the issue, it was the platform he decided to use as the platform from which to launch a propagandist tirade that I have the biggest problem with. The UN was created with an eye for ALL governments to carry out diplomacy to ensure peace ... NOT as a dictator's soapbox.
Exactly what I meant to say!
mmarsh I will reply later when I have more time. Off to PT now.
