Soon, the poor of Venezuela will live in nice homes. STILL under-educated, under-paid, and a burden on society. WHEN will HUGE-Oh build infrastructure for these people. "Here's your house" It's a GREAT welfare system! How about kicking your lazy-assed police in the rump. Create and enforce traffic safety. Repair roadways, build NEW prisons. Don't just build houses, build communities, with stores, schools, businesses. The guy is a thug, an ex-tank commander. NOT a businessman, NOT a politician, and NOT good for the world (especially Venezuelans!).

He knows (or likes) Military and WAR... it's his background. Venezuela needs to get rid of guns and military. This thug is stocking up, and pretty much saying "bring it on!"

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chávez's government expelled two employees of Human Rights Watch late Thursday night after chafing at their documentation of widespread political discrimination, intimidation of union members and a subservient judiciary.

[...]

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Mr. Vivanco violated the law by entering the country on a tourist visa to do human rights work. The ministry also said that Human Rights Watch, which is an outspoken critic of the Bush administration, was acting in concert with the United States government in a campaign of aggression against Venezuela.

"Accusing us of being part of a conspiracy is a distraction tactic used to attack the messenger," Mr. Vivanco said. "We have never had this experience anywhere in this hemisphere."

The expulsion of the two men came after they released a long report here on Thursday documenting rights violations in Venezuela. They pointed to Mr. Chávez's dismantling of judicial independence and his use of a 2002 coup that briefly ousted him from office as a pretext for consolidating power by weakening rights protections.

RUSSIA, CHINA, FRANCE.... are you lucky! He's coming to "NEGOTIATE" with you!

He's NOT picking on "The United States"... this is the global Human Rights Watch folks... and as the article says, are NOT aligned with Bush.

His colors colours are showing...

he's NOT a SOCIALIST, as in "Ahorra es de Todos"
he's a COMMIE, as in "Ahorra to'ita de Chávez"

Socialism is a great "concept", but the balance and infrastructure to make it work requires the abilities of a FAR MORE ORCHESTRATED GOVERNMENT, as in China, Western Europe... and on that note, understanding the difference between SOCIALIST (China) and SOCIALIZED (W. Europe).

I think they say "Have your cake and eat it, too!" maybe it's why HUGE-Oh is so... HUGE!

I think even better is a 'maintenance malfunction' and the plane goes down in 500m of deep BLUE ocean, where his RED filled airplane can not be recovered.

His democracy reminds me of a famous saying from Henry Ford.... "any color you'd like, as long as it's black". In the Chavez case, it would be red.

Who LOVES HIM? uneducated, poor, or his VERY RICH friends (they Love Chavez AND Venezuela too! it's what ya call a "CASH COW")

Remember, he has initiated some nice programs, and is making SOME good business relationships... all while diverting MILLIONS AND MILLIONS to covert causes. I THINK they call it a crime!

Keep quoting your adored americans, but remember, the majority of the venezuelan people loves Chavez, without any doubt the best and more democratic venezuelan president ever!
