I sympathize with Chavez, to some remote extent, since he is trying to fix a Latin American country (most of which are always in the grips of dictators/depressions/economics shit-holes). A lot of damage has been done by colonization, and because of that, there are very wide gaps between the rich and poor (though not a deep at the US, but the poor are much poorer). To help the situation, Chavez tilts a little towards communism, taking land from the high and middle class people (of which a considerable number took the land from the natives anyways) and gives it to the poor, which are usually native. This is what Castro did, and well, we all know how that turned out, but there's no rule that says it has to end up the same way, since a lot of shit was fanned Cuba's way by the US, for example the embargo which continues today, leading to enormous economic lose. You can't blame Chavez for trying, and for trying to represent the poor of his country.
Bush, on the other hand, seems to have a personal vendetta against the Constitution and civil rights, as well as a more-than-obvious lack of respect and understanding of foreign, sovereign states.
And I'll bet my life savings, down to the last dollar, that Chavez could beat Bush in a debate about anything, even if he were forced to speak English (which he actually can...Does Bush speak a second language?).
I'll bet he could even trounce Bush in basketball and at playing the guitar, for what it's worth.
