Who are you to talk about freedom when your own government supported Chile's Pinochet, Shah of Iran, Panama's Noriega, Greece's Papadopoulos etc... etc.. etc.. (all brutal dictatorships) and it does not recognize democratic governments like that of Venezuela. So please. Keep the hypocrisy to yourself.
And who was supporting the rivals of those individuals??
It's certainly better than the implicit tolerance you and your ilk have for totalitarian regimes, such as the USSR, Cuba, Saddam's Iraq, and Iran...
The very fact that you hardly ever take the time to express your disapproval over the regimes THEY supported seems indicative of where your true loyalties lie.
I, on the other hand, while not pleased, or proud, of some of the unsavory people the US has supported out of expediency in the past, can clearly state that Chile, Greece and Panama are democratic societies now.
And I remember your comments about good 'ol Hugo Chavez.. Y'all claim that Bush is crazy, but you're more than happy to give a Megalo-Maniac like Chavez a "pass".
Just wait and see what your hero is going to have in store for Venezuela over the next decade or so... He's going to wind being about as "democratic" as Fidel Castro...
