I disliked him, but not for the standard reasons a lot of Americans did. I could care less if someone hates America until that hate turn into threats and violence; until then, they can think about that US hate all they want. I disliked him because politically, particularly internationally, he was that little boy who talks mad shit because he has 2 older, bigger brothers that will stand up for him. By himself he's nothing. China and Russia were his older brothers and he ran his mouth because he'd knew they had some politically vested interest in him. Take away that and no one knows who f**k Chavez is around the world.

lot of that "mad shit" he talked had some substance and justification.

And his biggest brother of all on his side is a buttload of oil and gas reserves.

How do you figure he was despotic and autocratic when he was popularly elected? Several times?

Would it have been better if he had taken control through military coup like Pinochet? I'm sure he'd be america's sweetheart then.

So Fidel Castro is the only one left. Who says tobacco is bad for you?
