TONY EASTLEY: When a foreign religious leader calls for the death of another country's democratically elected head of state, it usually raises the spectre of international terrorism.

Relations between the United States and the key oil producing nation of Venezuela have taken a turn for the worse after American Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson called on the US to assassinate Venezuela's President, Hugo Chavez.

Mr Robertson says the killing of Mr Chavez, an outspoken critic of America's foreign policy, would be much cheaper than starting another expensive war to remove a 'dangerous dictator'.

There's been outrage in Venezuela, with the country's Vice-President calling on the Bush administration to disavow such 'criminal' and 'terrorist' statements.

3. A perfect example of why

religion and politics should not mix.

If ANY religions start trying to influence law, and international politics, they should be stripped of their tax exempt status, and be forced to pay back taxes since their founding or for the past 20 years (whichever is less), on all lands and holdings.

This would ensure true separation of church and state.

4. Yeah that's exactly the type of thing extremist mollah's do.
