Oops! I guess Chavez is not pissed because he "hates freedom and America". Maybe he actually has a valid reason.

Playing God with other countries' governments only gets us more enemies.

You're right!! Do you know how much more the rich would be if we (regular folks) didn't allow them to use our money all over the globe as they (rich and or govt < which is really the rich) choose. Moral of note is: they don't hate us for what WE do they hate those that use our money to intimidate, rule, attempt/participate in coups etc.. in our names..

Precisely, yet all we hear in the media is:

"They hate freedom"
"They hate America"
"They are envious of America"
"They blah blah blah"
"<fear-mongering statement here>"
