At last Tony Blair refers to Venezuela accordingly

At last Tony Blair refers to Venezuela accordingly
By Aleksander Boyd

London 09.02.06 | It's been a long, hard and unrelentless effort. But at
last Tony Blair spoke about the tropical Mussolini, a.k.a. Hugo Chavez,
in appropriate terms stating "It is rather important that the government
of Venezuela realise that if they want to be respected members of the
international community they should abide by the rules of the
international community." Of course respect is something that nations
earn through both coherent diplomatic relations and strict observance to
rule of law, neither of which are hallmarks of the pseudo revolution
spearheaded by the populist Venezuelan caudillo. Expectedly Chavez
replied with his trademark accusation, the one applied to any and all
who disagree with his regime, and called Blair "a pawn of imperialism,
trying now to attack us from Europe." In fact, 'attacks,' as Chavez
likes to refer to criticism, are coming from every direction nowadays,
and it is rather stupid for Chavez to hedge himself by calling Blair an
imperialist pawn when he is, effectively, nothing but Fidel Castro's lapdog.

Should this impasse be taken to comparative politics or economics, Blair
has outdone Chavez in whichever imaginable way. Not least, this country
is doing much better after three consecutive and transparent electoral
wins of Blair. Venezuela under Chavez, on the other hand, has had an
abysmal performance, which has resulted in the country joining the
league of pariah and rogue nations with the likes of Cuba, Zimbabwe,
Iran, Syria and North Corea.

Ergo Mr. Chavez's unhinged remarks just reinforce the validity of the
criticism that serious politicians the world over have expressed either
in public or privately.

Kudos to Mr. Blair. One can only hope that more nations join the chorus
against the thuggish, narcoterrorist supporter misgoverning Venezuela.
