You are truly an idiot if you think Chavez et al are not militaristic, imperialistic, and abusive in every way. The people of Venezuela are poorer than ever before while he spends billions on useless armaments, something which never happened before in Venezuelan history, and for what? Perhaps you are worse than an idiot: you too are bloodthirsty and wish to impose tyranny on the face of the earth.
