I'm sorry, I disagree, I do not follow Pat, but what he said was spot on. Chavez is a Communist and as such an athiest and so from the viewpoint of a "man of the cloth" he is Evil. I think his point is, kill one man now or thousands later. From an Ethics viewpoint what would be your choice?
My viewpoint is to support the internal opposition financially and with propoganda. Chavez is already showing weakness.
