That's odd...this isn't how Dictators act

Is Venesualia involved in an unnecessary war of agression, not supported by its people, costing billions of dollars and the lives of countless heros?

I might choose Chavez over Bush if they were the only two choices.

For Christ sake...you're the beacon of democracy for the free world and you've decided elections on the basis of questionable electronic voting machines, disenfranchisement of legitimate voters and an old pals act in a state controlled by the prospective President's brother. Fucking sweet, man.

You want to lecture Venezuela about democracy?

Go Charver GO! :cheer: :cheer:
 
BTW, it is how "dictators" act. We can go back in history and look at Hitler for that one. Losing his election he just took another tactic to wind up appointed as Chancellor and put in the position to use "emergency powers" passed by the elected government.

Saying "this isn't how dictators act" is bullocks...
 
You could say unppopular wars of agression are what dictators do also... Hitler did!

My point wasn't keep making the observation, my point was the observation was worthless. However, Hitler's wars were very popular with the German populace of the time.

No, his populace supported him well after a year. Unlike Bush's war. We were talking about the popularity of war, I figured you understood that.
 
The US population still supported the war one year after invasion.
I didstictly remember being called unamerican and such for criticizing the war one year later....
Our media still supported the war one year later....

The war in Iraq was very popular with the people one year into it.


Hell, Bush was finally elected president more than a year after the war started.

It was already failing in "popularity" Bush barely won, considering he was a "war President" and what is historically true about them.

The Iraq war started losing ground during that election cycle and has continued downward ever since. It is only lately when there has been relative security in Iraq that it even remained steady for any period of time. Pretending that this is one popular war like Hitler's in Germany is pretense only.
