Still, your quotes make him look like yet another South-American dictator with a different twist, not comparable to the nazis as suggested.
Interesting that the US media and admin focus so much on him, could the reason be because he's an "enemy", unlike the other dictators who have been sponsored and supported by the US?
I don't say this to distract from the human rights issues which are raised and documented by reliable sources and he loses a lot of sympathy for it.
But the social and economic interventions already appear in a different light when ones reads the full articles, not just the bits you quoted. It doesn't look like someone is enriching himself and his cronies, as I already suggested. It remains to be seen what longterm effects his 'antics' will have.
I find the pic of the MoD hilarious, and admire Chavez's bold, clown-like actions. The laughter is, for a change, at the expense of the rich entrepreneurs and property-owners in Venezuela and the almighty Bush-regime in the US.
Bring it on, Chavez! |
