| I'd like to hear about any oil company that deserves our support. Look
at their profit margins, how they influence our government, wars we
fight, and then what we are paying for gas. Chavez is not the problem this administration tries to hype him up as.
I'd buy Citgo before Exxon any day. While no President is an "angel", he
has done many social improvements for his country and was elected by the
majority. To call him a "Dictator" is simply ignoring reality and
succumbing to political rhetoric.

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0817-01.htm The Bush Administration is upset with him on a lot of business levels
and the fact that Chavez is critical of USA interventions in South and
Central America. Take their criticism with a grain of salt. |
