We must eliminate Chavez.

Nice try, but, you know, Chavez doesn't even listen to his advisors. How could he be a figurehead when there is no political machine to control his actions? Hint: there isn't. You are taking things way out of context.

What Chavez's underlings have done, Chavez has authorized. This isn't a matter of a slip in intelligence; this is deliberate take-over.

Bush is a joke.

So are his opponents.

His people are starting to hate him.

Then why is he doing well in polls?

The intelligensia within the country deplore him.

Not true.

He's a gigantic mockery of capitalism.

He's barely a capitalist.

Laissez-faire only applies to capitalism, not to foreign affairs. Also, the thing I despise the most about this world is governmentally-enforced multiculturalism. And to be quite frank, the people of Venezuela don't like Chavez either - so I can't see your point in saying that we don't have the right to tell Venezuelans what to do.
