I do love him. I appreciate his boldness when speaking of Bush. He has no fear and stands by his word. I hope he is not assassinated.

It will not be long, before Israel is tempted to reinvade Lebanon. And as long as there is no substantial change in the US fundamentalist vision, the same destructive US policy that has pushed Iraq and Afghanistan back into pre-barbaric times is going to be attempted in Lebanon.
Therefore, we can say that we have only witnessed the first phase in a long conflict over the future of Lebanon, intertwined with the longer conflict over the future of Palestine.
The renewed lethal Israeli air raids on Gaza in the first day after the ceasefire in Lebanon is a precursor of worse to come.
To sum up, Hizbollah’s achievement may indicate that the days of the US empire in the Middle East are numbered and nearly over.

Chavez is a scumbag and an enemy of all that is right and good. The only reason people consider the US to be the "evil empire" is because they don't want the US to be messing with their wicked plans.

Chavez has been honored by Iran's President and is popular with the country's poor. I expect the US to change the situation in oil-rich Venezuela in the not too distant future.

Chavez promises a lot, and delivers very little. He is very charismatic, but to stay in power you have to deliver. I think he's on his way out - in a few years. I love statesmanship, but I hate politics. Just make me king of your planet and get it over with. Don't worry - I'll be a nice one.

You better realize that the only reason he is still alive is that this country depend too much on his oil. When his oil runs out so does his life on this earth. That is one thing the government is notorious for.

Love Chavez?
You should ask this question to the venezuelian farmers whose crop has been stolen by chavez's supporters to make fast bucks, and leave the poor farmers starve to death.

You are right. But ppl can only talk. No one can stop countries like Israel since it is backed by the US. But Israel will also end up in stalemate just like the US in Iraq. What say?
