[quote="MAD MAC"]Margolis is a leftwing nitwit who just refuses to understand that Islamic militants do not have a live and let live concept of politics nor do they understand that nothing we can do will ever appease them. They are driven by the notion that there is an absolute truth and that the entire world must submit to Islamic rule and that they will attack any and all elements in the globe that might undermine that goal. The war against them has to be fought, forever.[/quote]

On the contrary, he's a brilliant analyst who's remarkably centered.

He's actually neither leftwing nor rightwing. He comes down harsh on both camps, I've been reader of him for long time. Even before 9/11. But he does have tendency to overreach in his criticism sometimes and of course he's relentless cynic.

Everything that guy writes is critical of just about every governments foreign policy. There IS NEVER a sense of balance. Left wing nitwit. I haven't seen him write anything critical of Chavez, who is a fascist and a conflict mongerer.

[gurey25]

what do you have against chavez anyway? when has he harmed america?
he wants venazuala to control its own destiny and he doesnt bow down in obedience to the US.

is that enough to make you an enemy of the US?

you can be a disgusting anti-social dictatorship like saudia or egypt but still be a good boy
all you have to do is acknowledge the US as your lord and saviour.

The guy is a demogogue. I hate that type. Look at the language he uses here. What's he going to do when Bush leaves office next year? Who will he blame then? It is guys like this that will end up getting me recalled to active duty, interrupting my retirement.

EL ALTO, Bolivia - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called Sunday for a socialist counterattack against the American "empire," taking his campaign to upstage President Bush's Latin American tour to a packed gymnasium in a poor, indigenous Bolivian city.

Speaking for over an hour in El Alto, which sits on a cliff above the capital, La Paz, Chavez repeated accusations that the U.S. was trying to assassinate him and close ally Bolivian President Evo Morales. The U.S. has denied the allegations.

Chavez donned a traditional Andean poncho and a wreath of coca leaves, and tried on a Bolivian miner's helmet and a traditional Quechua hat looped in neon thread while professing his love for the country named after his idol, the 19th-century South American revolutionary Simon Bolivar.

He and Morales signed a series of agreements strengthening ties between the two nations, pledging closer integration of their petroleum industries and officially naming Bolivia a member of Banco Sur, a South American development bank Chavez sees as an alternative to the International Monetary Fund.

Chavez held an anti-Bush rally in a soccer stadium Friday in the Argentine capital, then headed to flood-ravaged Bolivia to tout his pledge of $15 million in flood relief — 10 times the amount sent by the U.S.

"The empire is in counterattack, with the head of the empire himself leading the attack," Chavez said of the U.S. "And why? Because they realize that the popular Latin American offensive is for real."

He said now was the time for Latin America's newly socialist countries to fight back.

"We have resisted for a long time. But no one wins a battle always staying on the defensive," he said. "This is no longer a time for defense. This is a time for attack. Let loose the charging cavalry!"

Chavez arrived in Nicaragua late Sunday, warmly greeting his ally and former U.S. foe President Daniel Ortega. The two then traveled to the city of Leon, where they announced that Venezuela would build a new oil refinery nearby.

Cheered by thousands of supporters, Chavez said Bush's tour was a failure.

"Latin Americans are telling you: 'Gringo, go home!' " he said.

On Monday, the Venezuelan leader plans to head to the Caribbean nations of Haiti and Jamaica.

Bush met with conservative Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, his strongest ally in the region, in Bogota on Sunday and traveled to Guatemala that night.

While Bush has declined to even mention Chavez's name during appearances this week in Brazil and Uruguay, Chavez has peppered his lengthy speeches with jabs at Bush.

why do you take interferance in other countries political affairs a god given right?
demegouge he may be but he is a nationalist still,

and only someone from the third world would understand.

That's because people from the third world LOVE to blame all of their problems on imperialism, the west....blah, blah, blah. They NEVER love to blame themselves. It's almost as if Africans don't want to admit that long before the arrival of Europeans, they had socio-economic systems that would not pass muster in an ant farm. That they have NEVER had a history of political or economic stability. That their problems are of their own making, that they need to closely examine their social and political values.

I find it curious that this phenomenon hasn't really taken hóld in Asia. There Asians tend to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Asia is going to leave South America and Africa in the dust.

You cannot develop a country by completley opening your markets to free trade and allowing multinational corporation a free hand.

Asia didnt do this, if you look at Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia their programs were more socialist than capitalist, thier doors where shut tight during the early years.
all those countries had a small upper class that controlled most of the land and wealth of the countries, just like venazuala has been historically.

The first step in development for all the asian tigers expect for the city states of singapore and hongkong was land reform.

the only thing i find wrong with chavez is the political front.
i am afriad he is a demagouge simply becuase he has not set up institutions that will keep up the work of reform and bolivarian revolution.
he has concentrated all power this is a sign of things going wrong.

What a f-uckin fool, when has "Africa" been classed as one entity. "Africa" being the 2nd largest land mass is grouped into one. Ignorant fools like yourself, say Africa "NEVER had a history of political or economical stability", when it was fools like yourself in the Dark Ages fighting over shit like uncivilized barbarians. Considering its second nature, Northern Europeans NEVER had a history of political or economical stability until the Southern Europeans introduced civil order to your barbaric kind. Consider the last 1000 years there was little contribution Northerns made
