yeah beyond that there is undoubtedly other people to do something like that.

An ambassador is WAY to high up for something like that. Too visible.

CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to expel the US ambassador to Caracas after accusing him of provoking a recent protest during which demonstrators lobbed fruit at the envoy's car and chased him on motorbikes.

"Start packing your bags Mister, if you keep on provoking us, start packing you bags, because I'll kick you out of here," Chavez said on his regular Sunday television program.

Exactly, plus he is pandering to the other Socialists in the region as to what a big shot he is by standing up to us.
