Comments on: Chavez Seeks "Rational" Relations With US

Despite Recent Criticisms, Venezuelan Leader Says He Wants To "Press The Reset Button"

IT IS NOT WISE TO HATE ON A MAN THAT MOST OF THE WORLD THINKS OF AS A HERO. NOW THAT'S REALLY IGNORANT!!

heh rational relations with the coalition of the irrational? What a combination, the President of at least the SECOND most wacko country in the Middle East along with the President of what has to be the South American state with the most significant monetary problems DESPITE being a major petroleum exporter. One about to get his nations "energy program" bombed because he can't keep his mouth shut about destroying Israel and the other calling for UNIVERSAL socialism, because, you know, capitalism is so passe . . .

What a pair of lunatics, and one of them calling for "rational relationships" while the other nods his head like a dashboard bobble head, they do make a LOVELY couple. Now, if either one of them can take their country BACK out of the stone age to which their relative governments (Chavez's in record time) have put them, then they might be worth talking too. Right now neither one is worth looking at. Let Ahmadinejad finish his nuclear program and bring reactors online or even be stupid enough to build a test a nuclear device, like North Korea let the proof be in the pudding. As for Chavez, if he's so enamored of socialism as a Universal System, let him prove it works in HIS country first, without going begging for aid from Russia.

If Ahmadinejad builds his bomb the Israeli's will deal with him, and if Chavez can make socialism work in HIS country first, then perhaps we CAN begin rational discussions, at least if he can do it without massive foreign aide or returning his people to the freaking bronze age.

ranger1948, I agree with your comments, we do need to stop pushing our religions, values, politics and ethics on others. We do get very fired up when others try to do it to us.

If i were to fear someone then i could never respect them. Respect has to be earned, not caused by fear.

To those of you who think we should try to dominate Chavez or any country that doesn't live the way we think they should. We have continually proven war doesn't work. Just because some countries live a different way from us doesn't make them wrong. We need to learn to be more openminded and accepting of different cultures. Start trying to sit down and discuss any differences we might have. As long as they do not try to impose their will on our way of life then let them be. The term Ugly American did not come about without reason. We need to work on changing our image in the world.

Right about it
The King of Thailand is dearly loved by his people and respected around the world. He leaves the elected government to run the country but does so much to help his people with projects thru out the country he pays for from his own pocket.

The best thing Obama could do is ignore Chavez and leave Venezuala to its own misery...after Chavez is a legally and democratically elected president. And the tragic fact is that he still enjoys strong support...so let the Venezualans, and their Latin American allies (read lackeys) still in their socialist paradise a bit longer...it will cost the U.S. little to nothing and allow us to focus on our problems!

In the end another Republican will have to come up to deal with the bad guys once again.

While mostly farmers, post-mortal illegitimacy, and Venezuela immigrants to US arriving daily, almostly on the social system, no longer grow Tobacco that generations in the past earned solid futures without dependence to stand by. Now many farms just sit idle, because there is no need to grow Tobacco, and who shows the care about anything else that needs vital solutions. But pagan, required and two fit on this social reserve, wants a thanks for bolstering Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela oil. Smokers, while astonished by the rhetoric in, it ain't you or me, not seeing points for the Hoodstrung Federal tax reserves increase, raising the price of cigarettes and chew! So much anti-smoking sentiment going on inside Capital Hill and shored across boundaries now. Chavez should do right if saying; Geriatric care, on the social brink, could begin outnumbered.
