Shut Up (About) Chavez

It gets tiresome to hear the one-sided media coverage of Hugo Chavez. Yes, he's authoritarian. He's also abrasive, arrogant, stubborn, and all too human. But he knows what happened to leaders in Iran and Guatemala and Chile and Haiti over the past half-century when they tried to defy the western world by nationalizing oil and other industries. He's influenced by the memory of the US-backed attempt to depose him in 2002.
