Reply #38: Lacking in sense????--- did you read it? Please

define your criticism.

A- He pointed out the hypocrisy of the US calling much of the rest of the world terrorists, while committing terrorism and masking it behind words that sound 'noble' but are not-

B- He called * on saying that 'we' were exporting democracy- how? At the point of a gun? By force? By manipulating the peoples choices or rejecting them until WE got what we 'thought they should have'. Is that really 'democracy'???

C- He CLEARLY distinguished the vast divide between what this government does in the name of America, and what WE the people of this nation believe, desire, and the values which this country were founded upon.

PLEASE- show me criticisms that Chavez made that are not legitimate- If you mean the reference to Bush being "The Devil"- One would have to be pretty naive not to see he used this analogy countering *'s repeated, tired references to "the evildoers".
While * loves to demonize anyone who interferes with his agenda, it doesn't 'feel' so good to be on the other end of that- And IF, (I hope this isn't the case) Those Americans who can't think without biblical inferences to Good vs. Evil or 'righteous' vs. 'unholy' he clearly offered up the image of * as the 'christIAN' "Anti-Christ"- one who speaks peace, and promises good, invoking God- but is the devil in disguise.

I read the speech expecting to find alot of BS- but I didn't- I found FACTS
(vetoes and inconsistencies about our place on the Security Council)
(our own violations of UN rules without accepting the consequences)
(concrete examples of our double standards)

I'm wondering if I read the wrong speech???- His condemnation was NOT against "America"- but against the IMPERIALISTIC and corrupt direction those who are in power here today are going.

but I'm no genius-
Please educate me- I want to learn. And I want to learn the truth- no matter how uncomfortable.
