If Chavez is such a nice guy, why is he doing business with Iran?
If Chavez loves freedom so much, he's got some strange friends

The reason I support Chavez and his 'leftist government' is because he is helping millions of Venezuelans reach a plateau of living that was previously un-available to the millions of Venezuelans who were wrecked with poverty, who were un-educated... I'm not supporting Chavez because he is a Socialist - I am supporting Chavez because he is doing great things for his people...
Reuters: Venezuela dimisses jitters over nuclear program
Jun 25, 2005
Venezuela will pursue plans to develop nuclear technology for its medical, industrial and oil sectors despite regional jitters over possible cooperation with Iran, the science minister said.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, a critic of the United States and an ally of communist Cuba, met with wary reactions from South American neighbors last month when he said he could acquire nuclear technology with the possible help of Tehran.
Chavez said in May that Venezuela and other Latin American countries such as Brazil and Argentina could develop nuclear energy as an alternative power source.
The firebrand Venezuelan leader says U.S. officials are plotting to oust him. Washington dismisses his charges, but portrays Chavez as a troublemaker in South America.
