Blame America?

I think Hugo Chavez must either be a little crazy or his people hate him so much that he is determined to find someone for them to hate even more. After Pat Robertson's statement, about how the US should assassinate him and get control over his oil, I understand that Chavez probably has an axe to grind. But seriously, an American attack on Venezuela? Sure we need oil. But one could argue we already have access to plenty in Iraq. Besides which, we don't even have the resources to wage war on his country now because our newly streamlined armed forces are already over strained with missions in Iraq and Afganistan.

Chavez needs to wake up and realize that blaming the US for all of his problems isn't the solution. If his socialist, essentially-undemocratic agenda isn't working, maybe he should try real democracy.
