Unfortunatly its not only up,the USA to stop that MAD MAN;The rest of the FREE world,has part of the responsability too.But why are'nt their voices arising from Inside Iran To stop this ARROGANT DESPICABLE PEASANT,?You know as well as I,that revolution comes from within....SO what is the Problem with the Iranian People???Are you all supporters of the MOLLAH regime ,like the Lebanese are saying,regarding the Hizbollah,,Who are now giving them thousands of $$$$$,in guise of inflicting this war on them; WHO SAYS MONEY CANT BUY??

No need to get so sarcastic,Charity does begin at home,but what #5 is saying,is How does this Ass hole Chavez,expect to raise money from a people who live barley above the povert line??Don't look for lines ,that don't exist,its not becomming from you.

YES;;;;;;;;;;

LONDONISTANI??????I Presume?

instead of the rich oilgarchs who normally get to keep everything for themselves. Venezuela is a nightmare for the idiot Bush because unlike Cuba, it has a natural resource that Americans need. The real danger is if Bush tries to have Chavez assassinated to steal the oil. Since Israel doesn't have a oil rich friend like the Shah of Iran the Americans have to give it to them. Not something they are want to do when they need it for themselves. But since the US Congress passed a law that requires the US to provide oil for Israel if their supplies are cut off the Americans must do it at ever increasing costs. Americans are slowly but surely beginning to see that with "allies" like the Israelis, who needs enemies.

It think Chavez is just acting more out of Anti-American sentiment than he is Anti-Semetic. I don't believe he really cares about what is going on in the Mid East, I just think he wants to go against the USA for whatever reason he has. Even though his country is part of OPEC, I really just think he's trying to rebel against the US for whatever reason he has.

I put CHAVEZ,In front of the Mirror,Know what I saw???In french chavez backwards is ZE COW,,,hehe (LE VACHE)

You ,obviously did not read #12. I suggest you take out your Turkish dictionary and read ALL about that "Courages" pathetic Dictator;you admire..Then come back and we will talk;You have NO Idea who this PIG is.Maybe you don't even give a damn, It's just your Hate of the Jewish people that gives you this sudden urge to love "Courages boys" huh?

Hey Marble,,cause that is what your name is in hebrew..Your name is as cold as marble and FORTUNATLY not as PRECIOUS;And at least the Israelis do not ASS kiss,as you Lebanese are doing to the hizbollah,People like you do not deserve to be called Lebanese;YOU have NO PRIDE;For 3O years,you have been unable to protect your country,You have been dominated by Terrorists and weak gouvernments,and even to-day,after this One side decision by the Hizbollah to bring a war to Lebanese soil;You refuse to see that you are back to square ONE;;;SO all these Nazi-ALLAH's and Chavez and MAD Iranians,that you LOVE so much,are just more ASSES,For you to kiss...ENJOY;;;;xxxx

Chavez es muy inteligente , sus mentores Castro - North Korea - Iran , Venezuela mientras se cae a pedazos , sigue mirando fuera de tu pais Chavez - no creo quedures mucho - el petroleo un dia se terminara ....

To #28. chavez is a psichopat!! he acts as a psichopat that should be hospitalized as soon as possible. does he looks like a president? is he able to speech as a president? he seems to be the president of a group of loccos. shame to venezuella people for electing him.... brenda (08.19.06) Brenda, you sound like someone who would actually vote for G WWIII Bush! No child left behind missed you. At least you were able to spell your name correctly. Your name IS Brenda, isn't it?

Chavez is gonna get a nasty case of the clap if he keeps exchanging fluids (oil) with the Arabs. Needless to say, the CIA and the Mossad are watching him VERY CAREFULLY.

...one of the best examples of the kind we, Latin Americans better informed, call 'the perfect latin american idiot'. Always ready to blame USA for everything that goes bad in his own countrt, always unable to turn the huge oil revenues into real prosperity for his people, and now shonwing the ugly face of anti-semitism in raw form.

You call yourself "Shlomo", an Israeli name, but your post speaks otherwise. I bet all those who recommended your talkback and made it highlighted, were Arabs. #5 is not "pathetic". He speaks very much to the point: by showing that Hugo Chavez ignores the poor people in his own country, and instead, for PR sake - invests in anything that symbolizes resistance to America and the west. This makes him a cheap demagogue, and a lousy president. There is no relation to the charities collected by American Jews to Israel. American Jews are usually well-off, and not poor. And they donate THEIR OWN MONEY, ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL, not by some whim of the American president, who is not necessarily representative of them. "the miserable failure of the recent Lebanon war" - this kind of rhetoric is much more typical of Arabs who are oblivious to reality, than of concerned Jews. Yes, Israel did not kill Hassan Nassaralla, but it achieved some imporant goals. We did kill about four times as many terrorists than our casualties. We did change the unbearable reality of tension in the border. And if Hizbollah doesn't hold his part, we've just proven last night that we can act decisively. So no, it wasn't the absolute victory we all wanted, but certainly not a "miserable failure". Why so much loathing against your own country?

what can be said of Chavez and him supporting the lunatics of Hezbollahs, Syrians and Iranians except that "birds of same ugly and smelly feathers" flock together. Only the vile and evil think alike.

A champion of the arab cause. Hey truth hurts, let me guess, you're a white, liberal, well fed member of a democratic country. My arab people are routinely killed by islamic extremists in power who then blame the west. iran has starving people, constant blackouts, no rights for women, homosexuals, christians, bahais or even other islamic sects that don't agree with those in charge. grow up and get your head out of your liberal ass.

chavez in tears on his way to habana stop fidel insist he be the one to change his diapers every day stop hugo proud stop

i wish everyone everywhere could see as clearly as this hero of humanity!

Someone stands up to the frigging US, finally.... godspeed to chavez and his drive for majorities!!! No more federal reserve/big oil/zionist driven world politics! we deserve DIGNITY

bambo, he has done quite a lot of "charity" at home.. even to the point of being charitable to people in the US...

Chavez rocks

"You make it sound like the US has supplied these weapons for the purpose of killing civilians. Israel is our ally. One who happens to be surrounded by countries sponsoring organizations such as Hizbullah and Hamas bent on their destruction. It would be much harder to fight the terrorists armed with tazer guns, wouldn't you agree. " No, I made it sound like they had been supplied even though there was a knowledge that they would cause civilian casualties, which is what happened. Why is it that Israel, with it's superior level of weapon technology and recon abilities, have caused a far worse ratio of civilian vs military deaths than hizbollah, the "terrorist" organization? Fighting "terrorists" using tazers might seem hard, but I bet you'd give the recruiters for those organizations a much harder time. Do you really think mass killings and destruction of "hizbollah infrastructure" (which happen to be shared by civilians) is going to reduce the threat of terror for Israel? We've already seen how that type of "war on terrorism" works out elsewhere in the world. Maybe we should really push ourselves and try to find a different solution. And, I don't think Finland and Norway have much against ABBA actually. Though, If we had 9000 of their citizens held up in our prisons, some under conditions criticized by human rights organisations, then they would probably get upset.

Chavez speaks the truth, which is why all you nasty fascists can do is attack the man. Viva Chavez, a true humanist and a leader of men. Ehud Olmert, leader of beasts and a War Criminal.

You are wrong. I am not an israeli. I am an honest american jew. Israel is not my country. America is. So, when you say "why so much loathing against your own country", now you know you are wrong. Chavez was appealing to the wealthy and well-off individuals of his society - not the poor. Also, you should know that there is a large lebanese community in Venzuela, and most of it is doing financially very well. I think most of the postings that spoke against Chavez was ultimately motivated by the authors' hate towards the lebanese in general. If Chavez was collecting money to help Israel instead, no one would have complained. In other words, you really don't give a damn about the poor in Venzuela. Your hypocricy is obvious. And for your information, I am a very proud and practicing jew. Proud, but not a fanatic. You people of Israel think you are better than anyone else. Also, your paranoia and fear has blinded your judgment. I have friends from all religions and cultures. In fact, a couple of my best friends - one is muslim from Libya and the other a christian from Lebanon, not to mention many other best friends I have from eastern europe, and yes America, too. I see people for who they truly are, and I dont care about their race or religion. To me, if you are good, you are good regardless whether you're a jew, muslim, christian or even an atheist. One person's religion is something between him and his God. You think you're good jews, but you are not. Our true faith is about love, peace and compassion. War is not peace and compassion. I pity you.

You idiot! don't be deceive Chavez is looking for support to his hatred of the US. From last I read Venezuela is not arich country in spite of it being a member OPEC... He needs to collect money for those poor people living in his own country. Siding with Iran, Syria, and Hezbolla is only going to hurt the poor people in Venezuela... He needs to find new friends. What does Iran and Syria (Islamic Mullah) care about a third world country like Venezuela whom population is mostly Catholics. Wake up Chavez HoeSin.

He was just stating the bleeding obvious.

Hugo Chavez is a hero. If only their were more Presidents in the World like him.

Seems like you're a bad guy whenever you stand up to the U.S., its allies, and its policies. It's nice to see a guy with balls enough to stand up and voice his opinion.

All it takes is balls. Some people got 'em an' some don't.

and didn't steal once. The people like him and the rich hate him. He uses the wealth to buy weapons and protection. He gives discounts to his friends. He could be the next appointed Prez of Cuba. He has a bug up his butt.
