curefiend,

Chavez was indeed handed a dictatorship. Wether it was by democratic means or not, he now has dictator status. For the life of me, I can't understand why the people of Venezuea did that. What he is offering Venezuela may look good today, but tomorrow and all the days after that is something they may come to regret. It does not contradict what I said about Bush either. Bush is not a dictator and he has never had the powers that a dictator has. You said, "what Bush wanted he got,". You think? Did President Bush get the reform of the tax code that he wanted? Was he able to get his plan for Social Security passed? How many of his court appointees made it past the Democrats? Are we drilling in ANWR? What part of all of those did Bush get? How many of his proposed policy changes have been obstructed by the Democrats?

I coudn't agree more about the self destructive trade policies of the United States. Thanks to Bill Clinton, China, the main contender that I know of, gained 30 years on th US all with the stroke of a pen back in the late 90's.

I have got to ask, what about Fidel Castro has you so enamored with him? I sincerely would like to know.
