Your knowledge on the subject is lacking.

Indeed? Tell me more about this benevolent leader who has done so much for his people...

The bilateral trade agreements that involve services and goods as opposed to just hard cash is unique. I.e., trading oil for doctors and pharmeceuticals. I think its brilliant. Stealing the wealth of his own nation... gimme a break. Just look at the improvement he has made infant death rates, literacy rates, and converting the land he took from the rich into community farms and distribution networks.
Come on Tim, your irrational hatred is glaring.

Irrational hatred? Truth hurts, doesn't it? How about some data to back up your description of Chavez. And tell me how productive these community farms are - the ones that have been stolen from their owners.

Actually he talks like he does simply for the domestic benefit. His supporters love it.

Yes, I bet they do.

But yeah, i would agree that on the world stage he could stand to choose his words more carefully. But in the end i do find it amusing.. why wouldn't I, its relatively harmless.

Go right ahead and enjoy his antics. By the way - this was just released on the BBC web site:
BBC NEWS | Americas | Chavez vows no ties with Colombia
Apparently it is not only the King of Spain who has reached his limit with Hugo's "harmless" caperings. The president of Colombia, his neighbor, will no longer speak to him either.
It's a good thing our favorite left-wing bully has friends like you to support him. There is no one else left.
