Reply #57: "Authoritarian demogogue"? There's enough information out there about

[AP]

Chavez so that you have no excuse for having an uninformed opinion. He's written a couple books and there's a great documentary about him out there. Do some research and then come back and tell us your informed opinion.

Your claim about the Mig 29 and the threat to the neighbors defies logic. Rice just paraded around SA trying to drop up hostility towards Chavez and every country down there told her to buzz off. Venezuela is signing pipeline deals with Columbia and co-development oil deals with every other country in South America. Your claim that he's a problem to his neighbors is the first I've ever heard anyone say that. Do you have an legitimate support for that claim?
