leaders/representatives there for Maduro to get best advice on how to hold free and fair elections and still retain permanent power.
2. Tough honest president
Chris ,   MontrĂ©al, Canada   (03.08.13)
He was a tough president, and he used to say the truth. And truth hurts sometimes, whether you like it or not.
3. Embalmed & displayed like Lenin?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.08.13)
Say what? Given a grandeur & holy quality that populist does not merit. Would Peron or Castro be worthy of such overboard honors & symbolism?
4. To: Cameron at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.08.13)
Actually, Evita Peron was embalmed and put on display ..... until Isabel Peron (wife no. 2) decided she had had enough of Evita, and Evita went in the ground.
5. Hugo Chavez
sam ,   colorado   (03.08.13)
A long time ago not are busy world popular leader of this size. without a doubt Chavez was able to gather around him so much admiration and support and appreciation throughout the world. and give hope to the poor, and labored to their side for social justice.
6. @4 actually you've got it all WRONG )

Evita Peron's body was embalmed and put on display from 1952 until 1955. Then the body disappeared for 16 years (between 1955 and 1971). The Argentine Military Junta had her buried in Milan under the name of Maria Maggi. In 1971 the Argentine Military Junta revealed this information and Juan Peron had Evita's body exhumed and brought to Spain where Juan Peron kept her embalmed body in home. Juan Peron's third wife Isabel agreed to this and further it was Isabel who had the embalmed corpse of Evita Peron kept in the dining room of their home. It was also Isabel Peron who had Evita's body brought back to Argentina and displayed besides that of Juan Peron. Finally Evita Peron's body was entombed in the Duarte* Family tomb at La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. *The Duartes were Evita Peron's family and it was her maiden name In other words...I may not be as eloquent as you and I may not be as good a speller as you and I may not be as adept as you at using big words or insulting people... but for sure for sure I know quite a bit about Latin American history and I am 100% certain that my facts are correct and yours are 100% WRONG!
7. I agree with no 6 on most of it I doubt that Evita's body ..
Argentinian.   (03.09.13)

The last I checked, Hugo Chavez was thief, he stole billions of dollars from Venezuelans from the oil wealth that he seized a squandered by giving away at bargain basement prices to buy friendships, He is leaving a legacy of unbearable high crime, an economy on the knees, a health care run by Cubans, a nation of lazy (taught to work only 30 hours/week and get paid for 40 hours/week. Only a blind, pea brained "moron" would celebrate such a person. Sean Penn ad Jesse Jackson are busy writing and directing a new musical Hugo, don't cry for me Venezuela, starring Denis Rodman and puffed up Sean Penn (how fitting, Sean Penn's ex, Madonna played Evita a sang Don't cry for me Argentina) playing Hugo and singing Don't cry for me Venezuela, better days are coming without me...
9. 4&6 Sarah & Just Sayin: Sound like you are both right.

Evita Peron is buried (in the ground) at her family's burial place, not the Peron burial place or next to Juan Peron. So Isabel get rid of the ex-wife's embalmed body at some point or the Duarte family claimed it. It is so sad that most people the world sets up as heroes and embalms and puts on display (such as Russian Primiers, Eva Peron, Juan Peron, Hugo Chavez, etc) are the elites in hell cause they sure didn't go to heaven. Those in the family of Yahweh-Yehoshua are despised and afflicted in this world and rarely honored.
10. #4, #6, #7 and #9

#4 Maria Eva Duarte "Evita" was the second wife of Juan Domingo Peron. He married "Evita" being a widower, his first wife had died of cancer. His first wife's name was Aurelia Tizon. Evita is not in the ground in Recoleta Cemetery. #6 The third wife's name was not "Isabel". Her name was Maria Estela Martinez. Isabel was her nick name. No all you copied from Wikipedia is exactly. Juan Peron was not embalmed because he got very disgusted from Eva Peron's embalmed procedure. (No in the Wikipedia). There is not need to be arrogant. As you see "you do not know 100% as you claimed. #7 The "dining room" is taken from Wikipedia, there are not any documentation about it. The same as "Peron" was a nazi. He had admiration of Mussolini and hated hittler. The reason of the nazis in Argentina is because Odessa paid him cash to him and Strosners (Paraguay). #9 Evita is not buried in the ground in Recoleta, Juan Peron is buried in Chacarita. We do not know exactly how is the deal, but he can be buried only for 5 years.
11. # 2 chris.chavez was a opportunist,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.09.13)
and a maglomaniac,in order to please the iranian enemies of Israel,he persecuted and expelled the Jews of venezuela,but you,like other liberalo fascistas,admire any dictator,as long as he hates America.
12. # 6 Just Saying.It makes sense that
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.09.13)
Peron kept the embalmed body of Evita in his home,because his consience bothered him,he killed Evita,like he killed his first vife,both died of cancer of the uterus,which was transmitted to them by Peron,it was Evita,who gave shelter to the German killers,after they bribed her with valubles they stole from the Jews,so,don't cry for Evita.
13. #12
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.09.13)
Evita did not have authority to give shelter. Peron took the bribe from the nazis. Cancer uterus grows for different reasons but not because Peron gave them. If this is true, how do you justify that Maria Estela Martinez (third wife) is still alive?
14. # 13 Jorge.Evita was the real power behind
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.09.13)
Peron,Peron was removed from power by the military junta when Evita wished to become President herself,and possible,peron himself received presents from the german killers,Peron's third vife,is still alive today because when she married peron,Peron was already an old man,and the killer bacteria was weak or gone (i am not a doctor) don't you see a connection,one husband, 2 dead women ?.
15. Puke!
Brad ,   USA   (03.12.13)
Chavez was just another tyrannical butcher. I would say, " To Hell with Chavez", but he's already there, so what's the point?
16. What a bunch of bull.
Brad ,   USA   (03.12.13)
Hugo Chavez was lying murdering thug. His end has come, and he has now changed his mind, only it's too late for him. All of his lefty dictator buddies, and his big mouth Hollywood buddies are headed for the same end. The world is a better place without Hugo Chavez, just like it will be better when his dictator buddies start dying off.
