In reply to Venezuela's Chavez, Like Vogue Magazine, Hearts the Syrian Totalitarian Dictatorship

I hear you, Bslev. I made some remarks dissing his friendship with Gadaffi and discounting the murdered protestors at the FDL front page one day, and got a sincere schooling. Some folks said I was just being yoked in by Western journalists or something, but I don't know about that. I'm confused about Aristide, too, because I forget how all that went down with the US helping to overthrow him. I'd thought of putting up an open thread and asking for people to weigh in. Educate me, knowing the education might have different angles.

I saw the crazy Chavez remarks earlier at Haaretz looking for info about the impending meeting of Abbas with Hamas, and Hammas saying they couldn't guarantee his saftey.

Oy thanks for the update, I

Oy thanks for the update, I might have missed it. He's really gone off the deep end this time? His bad boy buds so far like Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Castro, though in reality not having much in common with each other, all made a certain sort of twisted Chavez logic because they had revolutionary histories purporting to be on the side of the little people. No such explanation in this case, don't know how his most fervent supporters can rationalize this one. Only explanation I see here is paranoid delusions, i.e., most of them don't like me, most of them don't like them, it's not because we're dictatorial, no, the rest of the world is plotting against us because we're nice leaders who care about our people and they are not, they're all in this plot to get us.
