I saw that on CNN. Pat Robertson is a crackpot. I guess now Christians are joining the ranks of the insane right along with the Islamic clerics. Now? Roberston and Falwell have been fonts of hatred ala bin Laden for years. Where have you been? Having said that, Chavez is a much bigger threat to the U.S. than people give him credit for, and he is virulently anti-U.S. I don't think he should be assissinated, but we should definitely NOT be ignoring him either. Chavez was legitimately elected to office. Are you saying now that America does not respect the legitimacy of other nations? I know America did not respect Iraq's sovereignty and invaded the country but I thought that was different. I've always thought that the U.S. ignores central and south America at its own peril. We should be doing everything in our power to develop those countries, not treating them like unwanted step-children. Our policies are creating fertile ground for people like Chavez. Step children? These are countries.......not playthings or our offspring. They have their own cultures and belief systems. Where is the tolerance for peoples different from us?
