That is the face of bullies around the world. Have you heard the one about how he is pissed at Spain because the King there had the audacity to tell him to shut up? Or where he compared the President of the US to the devil? How about where he is trying to get his countrymen to give him almost limitless powers? There is a constitutional referendum coming up and he is saying that if the vote goes against him it will because the US meddled in his affairs and he will shut off the oil. If any Venezuelan votes against him they are doing so at the behest of that nasty guy Bush.
Talk about painting a picture with broad strokes. This is one thing that Tyrants do very well - bully their way to office and then all the way to absolute power. Hugo wants to be the absolute ruler of his country and wants to have complete rule over Latin America.
Once he has his absolute power those that oppose him will learn what pain is. He has already made his way with closing down opposition newspapers and TV stations. Once you control the media you win the argument.
Fidel and Hugo, separated at birth?
