A few catering and driving jobs in return for 4 billion dollars... I guess the families of the soldiers and civilians who died in the invasion should be very proud of their contribution to Shell's profits

democracy is the tool that elites use to project their power onto a society and the world. Who can defeat the corporate sponsored Democrat and Republican parties? Nobody. Democracy is like a dragon in lamb's clothing. It poses as rule of the people when the reality is something totally different

Chavez is a military dictator who has no credible opposition. He is a tyrant. Bush is a civilian politician who has a very vibrant opposition. In fact, the nation is so opposed to and fed up with Bush, it has handed control over the government to that opposition. Bush is not at all tyrant.

What makes Chavez more of a tyrant than Bush or Cheyney?

Bolivia plays fair? Why does Bolivia align itself with tyrants like Hugo Chavez then?

That's a very interesting, unique, well-thought-out perspective, but I was specifically concerned with how an incident of shooting Russian peace keepers fit into all this.
