ARTICLE SNIPPET: "As reports of Fidel Castro's deteriorating health increase, so also does speculation about who will follow El Comandante. Fidel leaves only one real successor, and he is Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela. He is Castro's legacy to Latin America and the United States. Chavez inherits Castro's hatred of the United States and love of Marxism, but, unlike Castro, he has the money to put words into action. Because Chavez controls Venezuela, one of the world's largest oil producers, he is able to indulge in many of Castro's Communist goals and ambitions for a Socialist Latin America.
From the United States to the tip of South America, Chavez has attempted to isolate and humiliate the United States, using its oil wealth, the sale of narcotics, satellite-directed propaganda, and the support of Communist guerrilla groups to accomplish his ends.
To an alarming degree, Chavez is meeting with success."
