I gotta check this guy Chavez out very carefully. So, far, I love what he says and does.

Wow, what a great guy, you should consider moving down there since this country is so horrible.

hmmm, he is a fine tactician. thats what he want dave support, i'm not saying hes selfish but do not belive that he will gain from this. where all other kindness is lost the one who ismost bountifull in it draws followers like a candle in the dark, he has filled a compassionate void and hopefully others will follow. in the end he and all who follow him will most likely profit but i must say that he is a good person and i will support him, at least more than our own copmpanies.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Be sure to convince Papa Hugo shell out the cash for one of those greeting cards that sport a family photo of everyone in front of the Christmas tree. I'm thinking matching red cashmere sweaters with Che's image embroidered on the chest. Tres chic.
I wish this was the 1930s because I'd love to see how you guys respond to the political shenanigans of Adolph and Josef.

I would rather live under Chavez than the US puppets that were the darlings of the US in the 80s - Noriega, Pinochet, etc...

how come only american says he is a dictator... when i talk to europeans, right and left, they say he is elected by the people. I dont know myself.![]()
anyway, Good going Chavez!... good to see someone is doing something nice to the people theese days.![]()
lol, you get me wrong my friend, i knew not of his former exploits or his megalomaniac status, all i knew of was from the article where i got the impression he was merely attempting to gain support. i applaud his tact most and if he is as bad as you say then i must leave it atr tact alone.Originally Posted by Spino
just thought i'd clear that up.

i read this twice, and at no point did you dispute the facts of the article or the tone - which means sarcasm was your only recourse.![]()

He's wily. I'll give him that.
Humanitarian aid.... that's one of the best one liners this years. Thanks for shaming us. We need it now and then.
When I said Death before Dishonour, I meant alphabetically.
Externalization. Typical method for strongmen and totalitarians. If you can keep the focus on some external problem, your people will be less inclined to focus on *your* problems at home. Bush does it too and succeeded for awhile, but Chavez is better at it. Chavez understands something that Bush does not: as we say in chess, "it is the threat that counts." When you actually carry out the threat in the form of an attack you risk failure. If you fail, you are weaker for it. So maintaining a threat can be more effective, and certainly maintain favorable tension longer. Knowing when and how to act is the difference between a master and a patzer.Originally Posted by yesdachi
