Serious... killing people does more for their cause then against it. Also... killing leaders creates power vacuums which tend to find more extreme and repressive leaders. Go back to school, this is basic history. Think with your head, not with your trigger finger. I was sooo afraid some butthole was going to kill G.W. Bush and ruin the country's political scene for another 8 years running. JFK would've had nowhere near the image he has today if he hadn't had been killed. on a side note... Chavez is a douche, but a relatively harmless one. He's kinda like Kim Jung Ill in the sense that he needs to be in the spot light every 6-9months and if we aren't paying enough attention to him he'll start spouting off some crazy rhetoric. Pretend to be surprised by him for a day or two.. then ignore him until the next fiscal quarter happens and he says something again. |

Interesting point of view, talnlnky, an assassinated leader achieves martyrdom. Wasn't it Chavez who sent a tankerload of fuel oil into the N.E. states for the poor? What a political shot that was! The guy is a madman, but I think it would be a mistake to just write him off...
The Cuban situation is SUCH a joke: 50 years of embargo and still no change? Maybe that isn't working, maybe? My son went to visit Cuba as a tourist, and had a great time. I asked about the people there, and he said that they were fine: healthy, happy and relaxed. There were the required number of boomboxes etc, but the old cars were still running fine after all this time! Even if the Castros died tomorrow, I'm not sure Cuba would change much. Those who lost their "investments" there wouldn't get back in so that they could abuse the citizens like they used to in the days of Battista. Apparently there are other things more important than money. |

Chavez is following other leaders that got away with it. Mexico nationalize the oil and stole it from the oil companies. Chavez did the same. Mexico doesn't pay back their loans and blatantly tells us so. Chavez will take the auto companies and blatantly tell us so. What will we do? Nothing. Chavez and Mexico will take what they want.

Mexico "stole" Mexico's oil? Big corporations come into a country, exploit its resources, use their people for cheap labour, then just buzz off when the resources run out, or if they find a cheaper labour pool. Top it all off by calling them thieves for taking some of it back. Neat trick, but strange thinking...
