a dictator. This man has been amazing to his people, and most certainly the poor. The West and Corporations have been all over his ass for a number of years, and he has stood tall in his defense for his country. So when President Chavez does succumb to his ailment I hope his people will be there to say, we Love You for what you have done for us, and we will miss you Mr. President.
