Bush's secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance.Citing comments by Clinton in Brazil, Chavez said she was proving to be equally aggressive. "She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and divide us from our brothers."While taking a familiar pop at the United States, Chavez was more conciliatory towards Spain.Read more: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100306/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_v...

Latin American leaders are 100% correct about US hypocrisy re the overthrow of the legitimate government of Honduras. Chavez is correct about US foreign policy. We are independent countries as well and your interests aren't always our interests.

Edited on Sat Mar-06-10 04:21 PM by PufPuf23I am not religious but the current USA is on the wrong side of freedom, justice, human rights, and history in Latin America.Our politcal leadership and M$M demonize and undermine the brave and populist for the historical colonial-initiated oligarchies.The Honduras coup is ugly and our actions cynical.I want the USA to be activist but in taking the high ground in justice, fair economics, and democratic freedom, not bullying against the majority interests and inclination, domestic and with partners.The USA is on the verge of being left out of new vibrant western hemisphere multi-national organizations or marginalized in existing because we are not wise and do not follow the Golden Rule.

Neoliberlism destroys their economy And when one goofy guy gets in power and says/does some radical thing - the whole issue of legitimacy goes upside down for you.You have to have seen this very rudimentary info, right?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHPPpL9z9GE And goggle;Philip AgeeEugene Hossenfuss (sp?)Chavez is whackjob, true. But is a modern pragmatist going to put his neck on the block and refuse to cash in on his position? He is a radical, and seems to be the only one calling bullshit on the bullshit.
Hugo is a moron. Guess what morons do to economies?
What Obama is doing to ours?
Obama wants to destroy the middle class.
Not a vaild comparison, Condi was both better looking and much more astute in dealing with blood-drenched dictatorships. Cankles actually believes the shit they say to her and bases policy recommendations on it.
