Emotional twist in state visit.

President Ahmadinejad met yesterday with Hugo Chavez in Caracas, in his visit to Venezuela. Mr. Chavez gave the warmest of welcomes to the iranian president and declared that "all venezuelans are realy proud to be your brothers, friends from Iran, and to share with you this revolutionary path". A speaker from the venezuelan governement declared that the visit was of a very private nature.
Mr. Ahmadinejad, who recently declared that there were no homosexuals in Iran (arguably because they had been banned by the ayatollahs), is touring countries of latin america following his intervention in the UN last week.
Mr. Chavez has made similar declarations in the past regarding his proximity to declared dictators, namely President Lukashenko of Belarus, whose country he visited as part of a massive arms deals, in which Venezuela spent £542 millions. During that visit he controversially described Belarus as an example of social state, weeks after the political police crushed demonstrations protesting agaisnt the fraud in the elections and the dictatorial nature of the regime. He also declared it was similar to what he was trying to create in venezuela.

You forget to point out that, as was the case in the Ukraine, the "demonstrators" in Belarus were funded and coordinated by the CIA.

In demonizing Chavez in the same stroke as Ahmedinejad, the "West" exposes its fear of the mounting Resistance to the Global Corporatist structure, which keeps the corrupt "Western" leaders in power, and wealthy to boot!

Authoritarian leanings.

So Daggle, how is any of the above not true? You may not be bothered by Chavez authoritarian flare, but that does not mean it is not there.

As above.
