Two foreign articles on Venezuela

September 4, 2003

United Press International distributed this article on Venezuela’s links to terrorists. I don’t know what type of due diligence UPI does before putting out something like this, but the charges are certainly quite serious.


Russel also sent this article in which US policy analysts respond to Chavez’ charges at the Conference on desertification in Cuba. While I have talked about Chavez’ terrible economic policies, our President had the audacity to criticize the handling of the enviroment by industrialized nations. While I will not get into that topic, Chavez’ enviromental policies have been from negligent to non-existent. His current Minister of the Enviroment is simply ignorant and is alowing PDVSA to contaminate both air and water in the name of the glorious “revolution”.
