So what if he IS the devil?

Why does everyone get so incensed over Hugo Chavez calling George Bush "the devil"? He is the devil.

Okay, maybe George Bush is not the devil. But there is a good chance he will be remembered as the worst leader in our Country's history. An overwhelming number of Americans now believe, rightly so, that Bush is a liar and that he is responsible for a war of aggression that has made Iraq worse off than it was under Saddaam Hussein's dictatorship.

We revered Ronald Reagan for ridiculing world leaders (remember, "the biggest collection of looney toons"). We lauded George Bush for nominating the "Axis of Evil."

And let's not forget, Venezuela is a democracy. If Hugo Chavez' words did not reflect the feeling of his people, they would not have elected him with a majority that U.S. Presidents can only dream about. George Bush declared a victory margin of one percent was a mandate. What then is to be called Chavez' resounding 61%?

If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. If we don't want our leaders ridiculed by others, than our leaders should be held to the same standard. If we don't want others to think of our leaders as the "devil," we should stop electing devils to be our leaders.
