Why do Americans always think that if we just act nice and try to reason with thugs, they will return the feelings?

It never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, like this hasn't happened before. A two-bit punk gets the idea that he can prod, and preen, and nothing bad will ever happen. Mostly he's right...until he isn't.

I'm talking about Manuel Noriega. Chavez, are you listening?

The loser in that episode is clearly Chavez.

It shows the (rapidly) increasingly totalitarian characteristics of the Chavez regime; and the incident is of enough diplomatic stature to get governmental and public attention throughout the Western world and Southern Hemisphere.

It'll get Chavez some loud cheers from the Marxists and other leftists - but in essence was very, very stupid. At this point, we can soon expect a sympathetic (and Chavez-welcomed) visit from Senators Dodd and Kerry, putting things aright as they did with Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.

Oh, Chavez is such a tough guy.

Yeah, a real tough guy.

He can't even talk with a delegation from the U.S.

I guess he thinks this will make him look real macho.

What a putz.

Incident with Congressmen at an airport? Isn't this how Jonestown in next door Guyana got started?
