Musharraf or Chavez?
Musharraf declares martial law, suspends the constitution and arrests opposition voices
Chavez has threatened to not allow a permit for opposition voices to his constitutional amendments. Included in those amendments will eliminate term limits on the presidency in Venezuela. (look at it this way if * tried to do the same thing here, would you support it?)

2. I think that one thing we need to get straight up front is this... |
|
Musharraf is not an elected leader (nor is Bush IMHO) Chavez was elected with a resounding majority. Chavez was instrumental in helping to write his countries constitution... Musharraf declared martial law (A Dictatorship) in essence. Chavez is loved by the major population in his country, Musharraf is feared (as is Bush). One of the only reasons that Chavez is doing what he is doing is to ward off countries like the US who are desperately trying to unseat him. I could go on and on..... But won't.

Either that, or you really need to do some research.
