The USA isdestined to plague America with misery in the name of Liberty.

It may be that Bushco has found a new bogey man to distract our attention from the middle east disater.
Who knows, maybe he is thinking of invading South America now. His "Christian" buddies are advocating assassinating Chavez apparently.

The Rise Of America's New Enemy: "To the man in the bus, and to Beatrice whose children are being immunised and taught history, art and music for the first time, and Celedonia, in her seventies, reading and writing for the first time, and Jose whose life was saved by a doctor in the middle of the night, the first doctor he had ever seen, Hugo Chavez is neither a 'firebrand' nor an 'autocrat' but a humanitarian and a democrat who commands almost two thirds of the popular vote, accredited by victories in no less than nine elections. Compare that with the fifth of the British electorate that re-installed Blair, an authentic autocrat.

Chávez and the rise of popular social movements, from Colombia down to Argentina, represent bloodless, radical change across the continent, inspired by the great independence struggles that began with SimOn Bolívar, born in Venezuela, who brought the ideas of the French Revolution to societies cowed by Spanish absolutism. Bolívar, like Che Guevara in the 1960s and Chavez today, understood the new colonial master to the north. 'The USA,' he said in 1819, 'appears destined by fate to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.' "
