He runs goon squads that beat up people and is calling about everybody to the right of the Iranians "fascists".
He is the personification of evil in the western hemisphere, and misery and death will be his legacy.

All you have to do is listen to chavez speak and you will see that the man is a maniac and dangerous to U.S. interests. This alone is enough for me to support the CIA in anything they may have planned against this quack.

Anything that will protect and benefit the U.S. and its citizens. Be it availability of an abundant oil suply to minimizing possible military attacks.
The spread of democracy and the downsizing of radical muslims...to share a few.

Students Stage Anti-Chavez Rally
This actually fits the layout of the possible CIA plan. Could this be that plan in action? Or just a lot of Venezuelans SICK of Chavez?
Once again, it's a 50/50.

Really? would you like to give me some examples of how President Bush has had "goon squads beat up people" or where he has called anyone that doesn't agree with him a "traitor" can you show us any incident where President Bush has closed down a media outlet that didn't agree with him?
Please provide some evidence for your statemens sir.

Yes! it has been very worth it. That is a no brainer. U.S. soil hasn't been hit with a terrorist attack since 9/11 ! is that not a good enough reason for you?
