Hugo

I saw Hugo Chavez at the UN General Assembly this morning on CNN, and wow, I got a kick out of it. Its the way he talks that I find enjoyable and I do understand his views. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of my home, but I feel we could do better. We should move towards cooperation not domination. Ever since I've become deadly aware of the current situation of the world, I've known its our fault. Our will to power is pointed in the wrong direction. We play so many games on so many fronts with only one goal in mind, to bring them under our dominate control so that they do us no harm. By harm I mean no harm to our economic and political power base.

Though like in the movie, the more we squeeze, the more they slip through our fingers. Its just interesting and depressing at how we seem unable to realize this relationship. For far to long the answer has been throw more bombs, troops, and money on the situation to bring it our way. What we are now experienced is the backlash from our actions. Instead of bringing them under our domination, they are moving out from under it, and in the only way they see how.

Anyways besides the philosophy on the current situation, its interesting to note how the media is running the story of Hugo Chavez and his speech to the UN.
CNN:"Chavez calls Bush 'devil' in U.N. speech"
MSNBC:" Venezuela's Chavez: Bush the 'devil'"
Fox News:"Chavez Says U.S. Empire Will Soon Fall, Calls Bush 'Devil'"

Interesting, I would have thought the Fox News headline to be more severe, but its still easy to see how they are running the story. I would have called what he said to be a joke, which people did laugh at, but seems we are spinning it the other way. Typical.

Anyways, signing off this political post, good luck you guys.
