Chavez is supporting all sorts of subversive activities throughout Central America - including support of Cuba. He's doing so with money from us while attacking our President and threatening to cut off oil from HIS country. I say we eliminate the imports, which would likely destabilize his government. Something wrong with that?

No. Not per se. I just find irony in the fact that the Saudis have spend far more, for far longer, to support the far more virulent philosophy of Wahabi-ism and yet we buy LOTS of Saudi oil uncomplainingly. Unfortunately, as with the Saudis, what we won't buy others will so I doubt much good will be done; not that it isn't worth a try.
