Chavez attacks Bush 'domination'

[cal04]

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has attacked US counterpart George W Bush as a "symbol of domination" as the pair continue rival Latin American tours.

Speaking at "anti-imperialist rally" in Buenos Aires, Mr Chavez said Mr Bush was a "political corpse".

Mr Bush arrived in the capital of neighbouring Uruguay, Montevideo, as Mr Chavez addressed the crowd of 20,000.

(snip)
Ahead of the meeting Mr Chavez said: "(George Bush) is a symbol of domination and we are a cry of rebellion against the domination... he's trying to trick our people to divide us."

1. I don't think the South Americans are going to fall for it, the way the Sunnis and

Shias have. Luckily, the South Americans have been working long and hard on transparent elections, grass roots organization, and constitutional government, and are creating the democratic miracle of the western hemisphere, and they've seen it all--every effort to "divide and conquer," and to destroy their self-detemination, from the horrid toppling of Chile's democracy in the 1970s, to the horrid death squads of Nicaragua and El Salvador and Guatemala of the 1980s, to the recent failed coup against Chavez*. They have Bush's number, and that of his Undersecretary for Latin America, John "death squad" Negroponte. Bush is a desperate man. He has to produce something for the Corporate Rulers, or they pull his plug, I think. The plundering of the Middle East isn't going so well, and the natives are getting restless at home. If it wasn't our future tax payer dollars, I would be hoping that Lulu (Brazil) and Vasquez (Uruguay) fleece him of funds for "Latin America's poor" and laugh all the way to the barrio. The threat of a South American "Common Market" (and common currency--to get off the US dollar) is what this is all about. They know--and all of Latin America knows--that that is the best thing for the region, to force the global corporate predators to compete on fair terms. Bush can't stop it, but he can possibly slow it down, with threats that blood will flow. He's meanwhile dropping another $4 billion on Colombia, to be funneled to the Bush Cartel private paramilitary army, which can inflict a lot of grief, in the tortures and deaths of peasants and leftists, but which is also hamstrung by recent huge scandals. The new leftist (majorityist) governments are rejecting the murderous U.S. "war on drugs" out of hand--especially Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela--and there is wariness of the U.S., and unity everywhere on the desire for self-determined Latin American policy of this and other issues. Bush will not succeed in his stupid and vile purposes.

"We are a cry of rebellion against the domination." Well-said, Mr. Chavez!

Viva la revolución!
