Birds of a Feather

Venezuelan Dictator Chavez Visits Iran

You know more about people by the company they keep. More than anything else, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez's visit to Iran today tells us more about him than anything else.

The meeting takes place at a particularly difficult time as the world is becoming more aware of the Iranian funding, support, training and weaponry supplied to the Hezbollah fighters attacking Israel.

Fox News reports that Following talks, Chavez pledged that his country would "stay by Iran at any time and under any condition," state television reported.
Ahmedinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit.

"I feel I have met a brother and trench mate after meeting Chavez," Ahmedinejad was quoted as saying by state-run television. "We think Iran and Venezuela should share all experiences of each other, stay by each other and they have to be supporters of each other."

Pictured at right above with the lunatic Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, the meeting in Iran and professions of mutual support remind history buffs of another great love match of evil made some 70 years ago between Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

It's bad enough that Chavez is making every attempt to be a nuisance as the grownups deal with the threats posed by Iran. What's worse though is what he is doing to the democratic opposition in Venezuela.

I wrote a post in March "If Bush is Hitler, What is Hugo Chavez?" describing the ongoing attempts to destroy any dissent and democratic opposition in Venezuela.

But Chavez is more like the bumbling oaf Mussolini than Hitler whose modern day incarnation is closer to the Iranian Ahmedinejhad.

And I can also hope that the people of Venezuela are able to handle the destruction of their democracy in the same way that the Italians handled Mussolini after the Italian defeat in World War II (see photo at right, history here).
