the "new world order" envisioned by Chavez and Ahamadinejad. Neither Iran nor Ahamadinejad are even mentioned in your post. Which is rather odd, since their alliance is what the o/p was about.

And somehow you missed the (I thought) obvious reference to Iran in my description (theocracies, clerics, rigged elections, laws targeting women and gays, hint-hint).

Honestly, watching the defenders of Chavez here is like watching a game of three-card monte.
