I'm not am not a neocon or responsible for US foreign policy that favors national interests over the spread of freedom. I personally have disdain for all dictators. No, I am not crying about Pakistan's dicatorship, but Venezuela isn't a nuclear armed country with a large population of religious extremists trying to overthrow the government.
FOr the sake of 40.000+ arrested and house arrested?! Is that nothng to cry about? Where are the US freedom fighter when they are actually needed. Two wrongs dont make a right. Martial Law kills democracy you know that best and is no way to justify any operations in NWFP.

I'm not denying US foreign policy is hypocritical when someone says US has a strict anti-dicatorship policy. They are acting in what they believe are best national interests. Now whether they actually are in best interests is also debatable.

They are acting what is best for their sake, like any other politician. Maybe there are few exceptions, but majority is interested in what favour them.

I agree, it's something to cry about. If it were my country I would be up in arms, trust me. I'm not opening threads criticizing dictators, only responding. If you want to brag on Mushie like you are on Chavez, I will have something to say there as well. Although I think Mushie is not the uncultured pig or liar that Chavez is. Nor is he pushing them down the path of economic catasrophe.

Yes, that is what they do. #1 for themselves, #2 for US national interest and #3 for spread of democracy.

Seminole, you should have a better look at Mushys fake expression when he addresses the nation. I will not say he hasn't done anything good for the country, but treating your own nation like criminals can't be justified by any of his good deeds.
The economy is booming (rather was), there are some specific reason like privatisation and merely to foreign company. He is selling the country to foreigners, making money no doubts. But such strategies are only effective on shorter run.
There was some nice thread regarding this very matter at PA. Have a look! Let the search function be your friend for once :)
I didn't know my search habits or history were public view or that the end-all knowledge of Musharraf's economic policies can be found on gupshup.
I'm not here to praise Musharraf or defend his economic policies or even compare him to Chavez. But whatever he's doing it's not the crazy socialist crap Chavez is trying to pull off.

Chavez, has more to promote. Trust me. Let us agree on one thing. Yet again you are one of many victims of US propaganda machinery. There is no conspiracy behind this.
^ I really have no idea what that post means outside of the accustation of buying into propaganda. I assure you my views comes from reading unbiased articles and reports.
Btw, if Chavez feels paranoid then there is reason for him since **amreeka **has supported coup attempts against him. In fact, the US has had a very negative role in Latin America when it comes to democracy and human rights since it has behaved as a thug with actions ranging from supporting dictators to outright invasions.

A typical Seminole answer. @Shrek:
People are made to believe Chavez is a dictator, so I had to prove Seminole what freedom actually a western backed dictator can enjoy. One needs the support of US of A and you become Hero from Zero.
I am not gonna go too off topic but I think Musharraf is in a tight spot since he hasn't delivered enough: hand over AQ khan, don't talk / work on or about the IRI pipeline.

So you didn't prove to me anything. I'm afraid your posts weren't that revealing or enlightening.

I gave you an example. Isn't that proof enough?!
Nevermind, we don't need to see the world from the same perspective. There are many different views and yours surely differ from mine.
Long live Chavez!
