Actually, according to the Monroe Doctrine it is our business

Hmmmm, perhaps you could look through the Monroe Doctrine and find where it states this argument. The Monroe Doctrine was orginally intended to protect the Western Hemisphere from Europe, not the states from themselves

Although it won't happen, Chavez and Castro should be next on our list.

LOL!! The neocon line now on in our own hemisphere. How fantastic. Tell me, when we get rid of these dictators, who are we going to put in next, and how long before they turn against the hand that feeds them, as Castro did?

Chavez is trying to destroy democracy in Venezuela and supporting terrorism. Take 'im out and bring Venezuela back to the good old days of 5 years ago.

We both know what the intent of the Monroe Doctrine was. I think it would apply to a communist takeover of a major exporter of our oil.

who are we going to put in next

Pinochet did a phenomenal job after we showed Allende the error of his ways.
