159. I disagree
Chavez will be dictator for the next 25 years. Perhaps he will be forced out, but, unless I'm mistaken, the good people of Venezuela do not have the option of voting every 4 years as we do.

So, he's got a stranglehold on power.

Next, he's nationalizing the media. Stranglehold on the message.

Nest, he's made it a crime for the independent media to criticize him. Stranglehold on the people.

Oh, and throw in an attempt to abolish Halloween as an example of those colorfully inane things that dicators tend to do for no known reason. LOL!

Controlling the power, message and people. That's a dictator.
