Chavez: Bush is worse than Hitler! And, we need weapons!

I know. However, I don't see how a massive reservist army would help about it. If anything, Chavez is sowing the seeds of civil war as he is arming Venezuelians to the million. I especially fear what would happen, if he ever loses elections but clinges to his power (that would definitely not be a first, for a man who has had so much power for such a long time)

I guess it depends on how the reservist army is handled. There are other countries with such a policies too, Switzerland (IIRC), Israel, Taiwan, and RoK, to name a few.

As for Chavez, he is very similar to Colonel Quddafi (something like that) of Libya. Very popular to his people, but doesn't see eye-to-eye to the West, esp. the US.

Please don't repeat the lies of my former city's virtual dictator, the Rev. Jerry Vines. The fact that he married a young girl (to cement an alliance) doesn't mean he tried to have sex with her. Napoleon wedded a child as well. Children were often married to adults or other children in those days for diplomatic reasons.

Whatever else you want to say about Chavez, he's been good for his people. Education is up. Health care is far more wide spread. Jobs are increasing. Only the tiny elite are losing out.

Loose because of US backed election rigging, most likely.

I'm sure Chavez would claim any lose he suffered was a result of US election rigging. Facts have never mattered to him so why should they start mattering now? In fact we shall see if he comes up with an excuse to extend his time in office past the constitutional two terms (and remember he's already changed the constitution once to give himself more time in office).

Given how massively popular he is, the only way he could lose is due to vote fraud.

When did a little thing like the will of the people stop the US from interfering in other peoples election results?

I however don't care about "Chaves" ( not a speling mistake) but will say this: Parrots
