Why shouldn't he, everyone insults everyone in the world?
He doesn't want to be our ally, his whole schtick was to get the rest of the world to like him. IF you watched the UN meeting you would have noticed that all his comments got applause and laughs, not boos.
Sorry, but the entire world is not Muslim (and they weren't even a big minority there). All of the world leaders were laughing at Bush's expense and they were all showing that they somewhat agree with Chavez.
THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT, not what insults some random political is chucking at us.

Many people in the world (including within US) agree with much of what Chavez said. Chavez is a caricature in many ways, and the lack of subtlety in his message was consistent with that. And Chavez is not in a strong position when it comes to lecturing others - but he is a tinpot leader of a small country.
The fact he can say this openly about the one who should be leading the world, and be seriously listened to by so many world leaders, suggests that the the problem is with Bush not with Chavez. The majority of serious journals inside and outside of US are saying some of the same things.
Forget Chavez - Bush and his administration are the ones that are insulting you, your country , your culture and by doing so gradually destroying the respect that others once had for you.
Your ridiculous question simply reinforces that Bush is winning in dumbing down a once thoughtful nation into only understanding black and white responses.

Why because the man voiced his opinion, and we have a president who doesn't have the moral fortitude to answer back!
First time ever has an American President been insulted. Nikita Krueschev had some nasty words...but never insults! Tells me and millions of others that Bush is leading America down a one-way street!

uh, no
i can't believe some of these answers, are u guys insane or just mentally handicapped?
do u ever watch news (other than american channels)??
i have to agree at one time the world needed the "great us of a", BUT no more than we needed Australia, France or Canada and so on and so on,.
now i beg of you (for your own good) take a giant step back and take a good hard look where your country is and where it is going. it is now the us that is in the news drumming up support for the war in other countries around the world. it was the rest of the world that came running to your aid after 911 (even Venezuela) no questions asked, it was the rest of the world that helped raise money and supplies after the gulf storm.
what have u done lately for the rest of the world? besides trying to impose your will on every tom dick and Harry?
yes we know u have a right to be scared out of your wits, but calm down for a minute and listen to reason, stop trying to be the big kid on the block. if your county keeps going this route u soon will the new third world. yes it could really happen.
why did i get a thumbs down?

Chavez's days are comming to an end, even though it may not be quick enough for U.S. When his oil rigs, pump stations and oil exploration equippment begin to rust and fail, and Russia or Iran or Cuba are unable to send spare parts. Or when his military cronnies (now political appointee's) start having second thoughts and the population starts to wonder what happen to all the $$$, he will eventually have to step down or go down.
The type of social and economic scenario he is creating will not succedd. He will eventually insult most of Venezuala's neighbors, the population will start getting hungry and sooner or later, possibly a farmer with a machete will say what the hell!
Shoud he be assasinated? Yep! Will he? Dunno! Will he be around long? No, "The Devil You Say"

I don't feel offended by what Chavez said because I know it wasn't aimed at me. As for Bush, as an American, I find his presidency to be offensive. Why then should I care if some blowhard from South America calls him names?

I wouldn't worry about it. If you think we're insulted, you should see the Devil; he's furious. Before we go murdering world leaders for speaking ill of W, we should probably assasinate the 60% of Americans who also disapprove.

Why am i not suprised at your attitude? As usual the Americans can not use their brains but brawn to supress their critics. Fact remains that "the George Bush mentality" is the tipical American mentality. We view him as an imbecile and an idiot. I applaud Chavez for speaking his mind and agree with his sentiments.
