Is your comfort more important than ridding this hemisphere of a lunatic?

It would not get rid of Chavez.

I knew that.

Then your comment about "ridding this hemisphere of a lunatic" does not make sense to me. Can you explain what you meant?

If you can't figure that out, what's the point?

You'd prefer to keep a lunatic, like Chavez, in our sphere (this hemisphere) of influence. We really don't need the distractions he brings. Get rid of him and his plans. By any means necessary.
