U.S. Soliders Do Not (Always) Protect Our Freedom

Interesting, but I think that the greatest close threat isnt neccessarily (sp?) Cuba. I think that honor would go to Venezuela. Chavez has close ties to Russia and has also personally met with the leader of Iran, IIRC. Also, he hates America with a passion.

Hugo Chavez does not hate America with a passion. He hates the Bush Administration and several other administrations for how they have raped South America. I don't agree with everything he is about, but seeing that the US has raped South America, I believe he has a right to be pissed.

......Same goes for the Middle Eastern countries that hate the US.

What the hell has the Bush administration done to South America? Their attention has generally been elsewhere. Chavez is a tinpot socialist dictator, who has nationalized much of Venezuela's industry and media. He's exactly the type of person who hates capitalism and democracy, and by extension, the world's biggest proponent of both, the U.S.
