If the head of a nation-state is supporting a terrorist organization (The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia)that seeks to run operations on U.S. soil (the thread is at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/531830/posts), then I hope we are trying to kick his butt out of power. Chavez should have cut them off right after the speech on September 20. He hasn't.
He got his wrist slapped. He has a chance to shape up. If not, then hopefully, another coup will take Mr. Chavez all the way out. I make no apologies for that position.
