This is a clip from a "conversation" that I was involved in some time ago with popeye:
That bit of conversation is interesting in light of this news:
Venezuela Troops Head to Colombia Border

popeye said:The problem is yours. You have implied they have nuclear weapons, which is untrue. You have implied that they will eventually equal the Soviet Union as a threat, which is laughable. In fact, both of your implications are patently ridiculous. Your only basis for considering them an enemy is that they currently employ a different political ideology than ours. Oh, I almost forgot, one more reason, you have been told to dislike them by the Bush Administration. You have always claimed to think for yourself, here we have an example that shows the exact opposite.
palerider said:Actually, you were the one who brought nuclear weapons into the discussion.
And unlike you, I don't need to be told who to support and who to oppose. Communism is bad news. Chavez has already assumed dictator status by his successful request to be allowed to govern by fiat. The desire and need for more territory and resources will not be long in coming.
I will bookmark this post to toss back in your face when he begins the inevetable and remind you of the shortsightedness that accompanies liberal thinking.
