Hugo Chavez depicted as tyrant for challenging western oil domination: McQuaig

[indepat]

11. Enough to make one wonder of all the governments the U.S. has had a hand in over-throwing since

WWII, how many had leaders in the Chavez mold who tried to use the nation's wealth/resources to provide better lives for its people, especially the poor, and how many of those leaders were essentially in bed with big oil and the like. With our national policies largely driven by right-wing priorities/agenda since WWII, the U.S., imo, has been unwilling to tolerate the impertinence of a leader/government that strives to promote the general welfare of their own citizens rather than the welfare of big oil et al.
