Hugo Chavez is one of the most threatening figures in the world today. Fidel Castro is grooming Chavez to replace him at Latin America's premier anti-USA tyrant and dictatorial madman. He came here on US soil and called our President a "devil". This is an outrage! Chavez's growing ties to Iran have prompted U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to brand him a threat to hemispheric stability.

In his own country, corruption and crime have grown rampant. He is an authoritarian militarist and demagogue who has failed to deliver on his promises, violated fundamental human rights, meddled in the affairs of other Latin American countries, threatened Venezuela's economy and democracy, and destabilized global oil prices. Venezualan civil rights organization Súmate's Vice-President María Corina Machado alleged that Chávez had "profoundly damaged Venezuela's democratic institutions".

Human Rights Watch expressed concern in a personal letter to Chávez over the safety of human rights defenders in Venezuela. Human rights organization Amnesty International has catalogued a number of human rights violations under Chávez's administration. As of December 2004, Amnesty International had documented at least 14 deaths and at least 200 wounded during confrontations between anti-Chávez demonstrators and National Guard, police, and other security personnel in February and March 2004, and continuing reports of unlawful killings by the police.

ISN Security Watch says that, as long Venezuela's military leaders remain loyal to Chávez, they will "receive no oversight from Caracas", resulting in impunity and corruption. Gustavo Coronel, a former member of PDVSA's board of directors, claimed that social programs are "run by military officers who have little to no oversight". Members of the Venezuelan Armed Forces are alleged to be involved in supplying arms to Colombia'

LOVE THE (CORRECT) WAY THAT YOU THINK!!!

Chavez is only manipulating world opinion, and the gullible poor voters in Venezuela, whom he believes/hopes will buy his crap. You are correct also, HE IS A DANGER, and one to watch, and/or to stop outright.

Clever as a fox, Chavez is sucking up to all the anti-American nations and promising Venezuela's "support" to them, as long as they endorse his fear mongering posture, towards the U.S.

I can foresee a three-pronged assualt on the U.S., with Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran being the antagonists.
Watch out for this~~ and DO NOT PURCHASE GASOLINE

Hi! Hugo Chávez is not a threat no any nation. Venezuela is the only place that should fear Chávez. In fact, much of his popularity has to do with anti-United States fealings. And every time you threat to kill Chávez or invade Venezuela or some **** like that his popularity will encrease enormously. So you should let him "die". His making sh*t with Venezuelan economy, soon people will feel the effects and start to be against him. But if they don't, so what? That's their right to choose stupid presidents (like other country...). And... Chávez didn't come to USA soil, the United Nations is not USA soil. Let the Venezuelans solve Venezuela's problems.

If you read the article below you'll discover the real reason Chavez is deemed a threat. He is experimenting with a form of economics (cooperative economics) which threaten the holders of capital here in the U.S. American plutrocrats don't want the American people to realize there is another way to structure our economy and productive-property rights.
There was a coup against Chavez by the clandestine services of the U.S. Chavez was brought back into power following this coup by a popular uprising of Venezuelans! That is unprecedented in South America. Historically, popular governments have had their leaders assassinated by the U.S. - as you are, unethically, proposing.
The question you should be asking yourself is, "Do I believe in popular, democratic government or not?"
Study your history!

Excerpt:
{For 20 years, Eustacio Aguilera's family owned the Hotel Residencia Guaiqueri in this tourist destination and free-trade zone.

He hired the cooks, the maintenance men and the cleaning women. But now when he asks them to prepare a meal or tidy a room, he is careful to treat them collegially. The staff may do menial work, but they are also co- owners.

"Before we had a boss. Now we are the bosses," said Hermogenes Garcia, a longtime maintenance man at the Guaiqueri.

The hotel is among 100,000 cooperatives formed in Venezuela in the last two years that are the centerpiece of President Hugo Chavez's new socialist model to create jobs and redistribute this oil-rich country's wealth. They now employ 7% of the country's workforce, a number that could grow to 30% in a few years, government officials say.

Chavez is spending hundreds of millions of dollars in oil and tax revenue on the cooperatives. Although there have been allegations of gross inefficiency and graft, cooperatives have become a powerful part of the economy and society.

More than 700,000 impoverished workers across the nation have suddenly become stakeholders, such as the 200 families in Bolivar state that were recently given the right to operate a toll road connecting state capital Ciudad Bolivar and Puerto Ordaz. Poor workers are now operating steel and textile factories, fisheries and dairy farms across Venezuela with the prospect of sharing in whatever profits the enterprises turn.

"Before this was just a job. Now you feel the hotel is yours," said Robert Carreno, head of housecleaning at the 40-room Hotel Kamarata, another hotel on Margarita Island that recently converted to a cooperative. "I have to give much more of myself now."}

In your "question"-statement, you sounded like so many of the Grand Old Party which would rather "bash" with words and not act. Man-if you want the man dead-as you voiced. Don't just spout your words and complain just to make noice. Take a stand and follow through with your wishes.

Calling Bush names is not the same as being a threat to the US. Chavez is not a threat. He's causing problems for people in Venezuela but that's an internal issue for them to deal with.

Politics is what it boils down to! His people are the ones who need to attend to him!

I doubt that there is any government leader that isn't hated by some, and they would like to see them dead!

Rest assured, I don't like the man either! If every government leader was killed who was hated, Every government would have a new leader every day or so!

No body cared about what Chavez did until he bad-mouthed Pres. Bush. There are political leaders who have done a lot worse, but no one complains about them. At least be honest about why you want the man dead.
