If you consider publicly ridiculing Dubya a danger, then yes. He just says what everyone else is thinking. God forbid anyone else in power speak out against Bush. An aide of the Canadian Prime Minister called Bush a "moron" and ended up having to resign. Bush is a moron, and no one should be afraid to say it. Chavez makes a lot of very good points. While you won't see Venezuela and the US wage war on each other, the amount of oil they could withhold from the US would be one heck of a stranglehold. Ever see a Citgo station? Who do you think owns them? What you should be doing is thanking Hugo Chavez for the aid he has given to the region affected by Katrina. He even donated oil so that the Americans wouldn't have to suffer long lasting price gouging from the lost capacity after the hurricane. It's sad that what is purported to be the world's superpower can afford to go take over other people's countries when they can't even afford to take care of the people in their own. Instead, Venezuela had to do it for them.
There are hundreds of other countries in the world who use oil. China is becoming one of the bigger ones now. Venezuela won't be that bad off not being able to sell to the US. They'd gain much more with the economic pressure put on the US as they're already under pressure since anytime someone as much as passes gas in the middle east gas prices go up 40 cents a gallon.
The truth is Venezuela's people were a lot poorer before Chavez was in power. He has done so much to revitalize the country. This is why is reelection was such a landslide victory, because the people support him and what he's done for Venezuela. The ones who voted against him were the rich! Venezuela's people pay about 10 cents per gallon for gas. This is the cheapest gas in the world! Is this because they produce so much oil? Partly, but mostly because the government subsidizes the price of gas so that everyone can afford it. Other oil producing countries like Saudi or Kuwait charge much more for gas than this.
America thinks every country they exhibit an embargo against will crumble because they are so big and powerful. How egocentric is that? Look at Cuba. The US has had an embargo in place for the last 44 years. What has it done? Brought the country to its knees and forced regime change? I don't think so! Everyone gets free education, free medical services and Americans can't even get either of those things. No one starves to death in Cuba and there aren't homeless people like there are in America. No, they're not a rich country, but they've survived this economic blockade for nearly half of a century. How effective is that? Time and again the UN passes resolutions denouncing the US embargo with only Israel, Marshall Islands and Palau ever voting with the US and all 183 others voting against them. But the US must be right??? Oh that's right, they're the worlds greatest superpower, I forgot. My bad.

Danger as such I don't think so,,, Mr. Chavez will not stop the flow of oil into the USA because if he do, then Venezuela will loose all the revenues that it get from the sell to the USA and that's a lots of dollars. Mr Chavez will try to make more friends for Venezuela and his cause but it going to cost him a lots of money and this will hurt the Venezuelan people, that are already very poor, extremely poor. He is going to do all these to try to hurt the USA but the economy of the USA is too strong and it doesn't depend on the Venezuelan economy like they do to ours. With the reelection of Mr. Chavez the only one that lost is the Venezuelan citizen at the long run. Mr Chavez hatred toward the USA will not let him think clear enough to work for his country, he is a sick president.

i'm no longer confident in the journey that they can experience ALL risk coming yet they're quite mushy to climate. after we had a dogs, we continually used to carry close at the same time as there became going to be a thunderstorm because he'd conceal lower than the computing device table! there is many stuff that influence dogs behaviour even with the truth that, they're very mushy to modify and there is a few debate about dogs and different animals having a 'sixth experience' because we've not yet found out why they realize this stuff earlier us (besides the very shown truth that announcing that, little question you'd be in a position to locate some articles with theories in case you probably did extra analyze!). i wish you're all secure from the twister!

Not if we deal with Iran and Syria correctly, he's in bed with those two nations and if he sees we won't fold to them, his foundation is weakened. Best we watch his actions carefully but not let him see us looking. Kind of like a petulant, spoiled child not getting their way. Stand firm but don't let them see if they are getting your goat.
