Question; The realistic alternative to Chavez is a US puppet in the hands of private power screwing over the poor and increasing the imperial ambitions of the US. Polls show that Chavez is popular and has the majoriy of democratic support. Is he really worth singling out as the worlds douchiest leader?

Oh God. No there is actually a middle oppertunity. It is actually possible to be a sensible leader without being a dictator or being a puppet for the US. There are about a 100 nations in the world that are able to do that, so I cant really see why Venezuela cant do it.

But of course, that doesnt sit well with the extreme left that always think that anyone who arent in direct opposition of the US are automatically the puppets of the US.
