Date: 2007-08-21 01:12 am (UTC)He had an interesting statement. Paraphrased (my memory's lousy; sorry), he said that, whenever you hear anyone talk about Hugo Chavez, spell "he" with a 't' and a 'y'. As in "they." Chavez, it seems, is doing what the majority of Venezuelans have told him to. This American ex-pat had asked an old Venezuelan, "Do you support Hug Chavez' policies?" and received the response, "I don't support his policies, he supports mine."
Now, he wasn't completely uncritical. But he did go into the recent history of Venezuela. Seems that, during the 80's and early 90's, there was all manner of repression, people were "disappeared," that sort of thing. All by the US-supported regime. So, I don't find it that unbelievable that Venezuelans are peeved at the US, and elected a president who reflects that anger.
