Why is Chavez in the news so much lately? Is his PR worried no one knows he exists? Even Pat Robertson is hyped up about him and wanting him taken out. He'd have been better off laying low.

"Why is Chavez in the news so much lately?"

Apparently, power isn't enough for some people; relevance is more important. And what better way to be made relevant than by attacking Bush and the USA. That'll get you headlines 'round the world...and even invites to some of the best "social" gatherings. Unfortunately, I see a some of this from our own side...though obviously not to this extent.

Because of the war with Iraq, and my letter writing campaign to the BRAC comission about base closures here in Virgina, have not paid much attention to Venezuela. Now I see what Pat Robertson's comments were about. Given the fact that Robertson said on TV we have the opportunity to take out Chavez, I can see why people are upset. These comments made by a religious figure should have been kept private, even though I agree with him.
