Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, was asked "So what's wrong with President Bush?" in a interview Anti-Bush, And Mincing No Words, published in the Washington Post.
His answer: "This administration invaded Iraq. According to Pope John Paul II, it is an illegal war, an immoral war, a terrorist war. The U.S. has bombarded entire cities, used chemical weapons and napalm, killed women, children and thousands of soldiers. That's terrorism.
In Venezuela they fostered a coup d'etat [in 2002] manufactured by the CIA . . . Recently,Reverend Robertson called for my assassination. This is a terrorist attack, according to international law. In Miami, on a daily basis, people on TV shows are calling for my assassination. This is terrorism.
This [present U.S.] government is a threat to humanity. I have confidence that the American people will save humanity from this government -- they will not allow it to [continue to] violate human rights and to invade countries."
