Do you know How Hugo Chavez is? Political thread

[shams]

We have had a lot of stories on Chavez in the news recently (i.e. our weeknight, daily news - especially SBS, which tends to cover world affairs more than just local ones).

I'm a little disappointed  by the recent developments (to say the least). Being "anti-US" is one thing, but being a blatent and open dictator is another (i.e. hello Zimbabwe!)
