Why hasn't the USA taken out Hugo Chavez yet?

Question

Pat Robertson was right all along.

Answer 1

Unlike what left wing wackos say our President and country follow the rule of law. We should find a way to take him to task. The CIA could openly help his enemies.

Answer 2

Because we don't need to go to war with every country on the planet.

Let the Venezuelans deal with Chavez. If they want a dictator, they will be the ones who suffer for it.

Answer 3

Hugo Chavez is no threat. It's just talk. What the hell is Venezuela going to do?

Answer 4

in a nut shell its oil. venezuela is part of opec. chavez learned from panema and noreaga, not to anger the yankees to the north or he`ll wind up in prison in south florida, and the country will go on without him. drugs he can get away with and blame it on some one else, oil and the military is something else.

Answer 5

Because if the us goes to South America and they start a war there too, the un is going to whip our ***, because they will say its unjustified just becasuse he is talking bad about bush and the u.s. and they are another major exporter of oil, see the pattern? BUSH ONLY STARTED THE WAR IN IN IRAQ FOR OIL, AND USE 9/11 TO SCAPEGOAT IT.

Answer 6

With America's government fiercely advancing the interests of avaricious corporations around the world, Hugo Chavez has emerged in Venezuela as a welcome antithesis. While there is little doubt that Chavez is complex, acts with a degree of self interest, and has a multi-faceted agenda, he has remained steadfast in his promise to provide for the poverty-stricken in Venezuela. His open defiance of US imperialism and nascent attempt to implement a social democracy make him a rare breed in this world. As they sustain blows to their economic security, civil liberties, and intellectual freedoms almost daily under the Bush administration, people around the world can look to Chavez as illumination in a very dark age/



Chavez has tenacity. He was elected president of Venezuela in 1998 and again in 2000 by significant margins of victory. Contrary to claims of corruption by the Bush administration and its media lap-dogs, international observers declared both elections to be free. Chavez survived a coup attempt in 2002, which was openly supported by the Bush administration. Dogged by the opposition of the Oligarchs in his own country, Chavez overcame a recall election in August of 2004. His approval margin was a comfortable 59%. The recall was organized and supervised by the Organization of American States and the Carter Center. Jimmy Carter, noted for his sterling integrity, helped supervise the referendum process. Carter himself confirmed the legitimacy of the procedures. Unlike Americans, Venezuelans can rest assured that their recent elections have not been rigged. Having tenaciously survived several rigorous tests, Chavez is a president who truly represents a majority of his people, and has the chutzpah to go toe to toe with the Neocons.



In 1998, Chavez inherited a nation of extreme "haves" and "have nots". For years, corrupt Oligarchs had plundered the revenue from Venezuela 's rich oil reserves. Chavez rode to office on a wave of populist support for his promises to bring social and economic justice to his nation. When he took the reins of leadership, 3% percent of the population (mostly of white European descent) owned 77% of the country's land. About 80% of the Venezuelan population was of black and Indian descent. They comprised most of the 21 million poverty-stricken people in a nation with a population of 25 million. Widespread poverty in a nation that sits atop the largest oil reserves in the Western Hemisphere? The word unconscionable could only begin to describe the situation. Enter Hugo Chavez with his grand designs to beat back the economic disparity.

Answer 7

We've got way to much vested around the rest of the world and we are spread too thin.
