No, we probably would not accept aid from countries who habitually mistreat their citizens.

Chavez in the wake of Katrina comes to mind....

I love the way you so casually toss stuff out there as fact.

Chavez has raised the standard of living for the poor
Chavez has nationalized much of the economy to pay for infrastructure, healthcare and education.

Chavez has NOT mistreated the citizens.

Yeah, let's just forget the coup attempts, electoral frauds, military attacks against dissenters, etc, etc, etc

Do you guys even get the news up there in Canada or do you just think the rest of the world doesn't?

Hey "genius", why would Chavez try to overthrow a government he is ALREADY in control of?

Try going a little farther back in history...

The Bush Doctrine of 'Invade first, justify later' has made the world all the more dangerous.

Nation states are compelled to put forth a show of strength, including development of nuclear weapons, to stave off possible attacks.

Is this the legacy of a true Christian leader with deep convictions toward freedom and democracy or that of a puppet of the military industrial complex?

I'm not a believer, but I do know that it is claimed that Christ said (paraphrased) "What you do to the lowest of my brothers, you do to me."

Bush/Cheney have crushed the lowest of their brothers and enabled powerful interests to do the same.

How can it come as a surprise to anyone, other than those insulated from the facts by powerful corporate interests, that the rest of the world gazes in astonished fear at the rapid decline of a once powerful voice for freedom and liberty.

How can it come as a surprise that the rest of the world is sharpening their sabers in case Bush/Cheney/McCain/Palin should focus on them?
