Chavez is a bandit, no more, no less. Those who fear him, and make no mistake, those who herald him as great, fear him and his henchmen. He is no different than any other South or Central American tyrant who savaged his people and made them more dependent so the despot in charge maintained the power.It is all about that, POWER!

[PUGACHEV]

Cahvez is an ignorant fool. Let him be the son of Montezuma if he wants to be; it would fit him well. Like Chavez, Montezuma was also a self-centered fool, and a traitor who was killed by his own people when, as the Cortez's prisoner, he tried to convince his subjects to accept the Spanish in their city. So far as I know, you won't find a single statue to Montezuma in Mexico City. It's his nephew, Cuauhtemoc, the last king of the Aztecs, the one who stood up to the Spaniards, the King who destroyed his City rather than surrender it: he's the one on the Peso, he's the one the Mexicans want to remember, he's the one they build statues of in Mexico City.
