Chavez is useing his army to seizing farmer's land (Just like his hero Stalin).Since ex-president Carter endorsed his win as president for life,there's been no comment from his camp yet.I wonder will he recant his endorsement,or just blame Bush?

From what I understand, Chavez is compensating owners for everything he expropriates, and he's only doing so with underutilized or underdeveloped land. 80% of Venezuelan land is owned by the top 5%, which was seized in the first place back in the 1800's by colonial elite.

Carter has nothing to do with Chavez being president. You're just using the fact that Carters group certified the election as being fair, something Chavez's opponent didn't even contest, as an excuse to slam Carter. You may not like it, I know I don't, but Chavez was fairly reelected according to the laws of Venezuela.

If you don't know the difference between saying that someone won by a legitimate vote, versus saying that you like that the person won, you need to go back to third grade and pay attention this time.

Venezuela to seize golf courses
Venezuela's golf courses are seen as havens for the rich
The mayor of Venezuela's capital Caracas says he plans to expropriate two exclusive golf courses and use the land for homes for the city's poor.
Mayor Juan Barreto has said playing golf on lavish courses within sight of the city's slums is "shameful".

the "farmlands" you refer to are
"idle"...
