Hugo Chavez - Venezuela

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez holds up a baby during a work trip in the western city of Maracaibo, 700 km away from Caracas, late September 5, 2003. Chavez on Sunday warned the United States to back off after Washington's envoy in Caracas met with electoral officials who must decide whether to allow a referendum on the leftist leader's rule. Opposition leaders, who fear Chavez may attempt to block any vote, portray him as a fledgling dictator set on turning Venezuela into a Cuban-style communist state, but Chavez says they are scuttling his social reforms meant to ease poverty after years of neglect by previous governments.

Poor kid. Hope he didn't catch anything.

I know how to fix everything in Venezuela:

Have GW sign an open door free trade act with them.

Populist Chavez, whose anti-capitalist rhetoric often targets the U.S., cautioned Washington against meddling

Sometimes one wishes for a "Hugo Allende"...
