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.

Boo Hoo. At least the Spanish stopped the "mexicans" from committing human sacrifices. As for Chavez, the man is a bloated, hell of an ugly fool. Have you looked at him? He looks liek the model for that Olmec stone statute. That is the tribe he should leach off of.

Well said...your knowledge of the history of the Montezuma era is excellent. Thankyou for that and your comments. I agree on Chavez...that kind of tyrant who loves the spotlight does nothing of value for his people and usually doesn't last long. History is full of them.
