Chavez renews conflict with Venezuelan bishops

[Pondero]

You obviously don’t see anything wrong with bounty hunters operating illegally in foreign lands, The problem with the USA foreign policy is that it interferes in the internal affairs of foreign nations through the auspices of the NED and the CIA. That is why the US is generally disliked throughout the world. Other nations follow suit, such as ours which is bullied into co-operating and the UK too to some extent.

Anyway, to get back to the topic of Chavez. He is with all his faults and he is not a saint by any means, ready to help the people who elected him which is the 80% of the population that are poor.

You are making excuses for a dictator and dragging discussions of US foreign policy into it. Your US bashing and sympathy for this leftwing dictator give away your point of view. Every Latin American caudillo has rode into power blaming the US for all of their problems and doing nothing to alleviate poverty.

As for the UK - there is no nation on earth that stuck its nose into more countries’ business over hundreds of years, so I would watch it with the US bashing. I really don’t care if most of the rest of the world dislikes the US. Believe what you want. I live here and prefer it to any of the countries filled with people that hate the US - people that usually cut slack to the likes of Castro, Chavez, Putin, the nutjob in Iran, etc.

For those defending him, how can you defend his actions of taking away civil liberties of his own people? At BEST, he might be a Lenin or a Khuschev. At worst, well he could be the Hispanic version of Josef or Mao.

The US has made many mistakes recently, by attacking Iraq for one and Afghanistan for another. We Canadians should bring our troops home from Afghanistan ASAP in my view. We are doing no good there. Fortunately, we had a PM called Jean Chretien who kept us out of Iraq. Don’t make another mistake by invading or subverting the government of Venezuela. A policy of live and let live might be more advantageous for the US politically.

Getting off topic, but you could be right about Iraq, but Afghanistan was justified given that the Taliban (then the government of Afghanistan) was harbouring and aiding Al Queda and Al Queda was responsible for 9/11.

Have we found bin Laden yet? Do we know where he is? He could just as easily be in Pakistan which is an ally of the USA.

If Al Quada leaders haven’t been found so far, then you are not going to find him by putting more troops in Afghanistan.

This is the last post on this tangent since it’s getting off topic, but we might not have found him, but that doesn’t make going into Afghanistan when we did wrong.

Iraq, there is debate; no debate about going into Afghanistan. The Taliban didn’t have to support Bin Laden, but they did.
