Fidel, Chavez moment after failed 2002 coup captured

[Paolo123]

It's still hard to accept that Chavez is dead, at least for me

avana (AFP) - Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez shared their amazement and joy upon the triumphal return to power of the late Venezuelan leader after a brief coup in 2002, an exchange vividly captured in a transcript released Friday.

"You have to make a movie about it," a delighted Castro told Chavez in a lengthy telephone conversation shortly after the Venezuelan president was welcomed back to presidential palace in Caracas by cheering masses.

"What impressive images, the faces of the people, the happiness -- something never seen before, Chavez! It's something to make paintings about," he said.

Cuba published a transcript of the conversation in an eight-page pamphlet, offering a rare and dramatic glimpse of the two friends at a key moment in their history as the closest of allies.

1. And who benefited from the death of the beloved Venezuelan leader, that's right.

These racist, classist, greedy a-holes have been catching a lot of breaks from "fate," haven't they?

Your posted article was exceptional. I had to sock it away simply because it was wonderful, wanted to keep it.

The link didn't work for me, I put the headline in a search and found a link which did:

You are not alone in your reaction to this sleazy theft of an amazing man's life. Definitely not alone, you have a lot of company.
