I find the
statements by the head of the Land Institute Eliecer Otaiza to be extremely
offensive. This is no way to lead a country and to promote hate and resentment
against anyone is irresponsible and racist. No Government official should be
allowed to promote hate against any nation, racial or social group. This is the
way to destroy a country not build it. Governments should promote harmony and
civilized behavior, not savagery. This is verbatim what
Otaiza said in the interview in local weekly Quinto Dia:
Q. Are you getting ready for a war?
A. The first thing we have to recognize is that when you go to war, you have to
begin to hate the opponent. You can not go to war loving the person.
Effectively, the bonds we have with the United States,
political, historical are too closely joined, but we have to prepare ourselves
to begin to see the gringos as enemies, and that would be the first preparation
for combat.
Q. We have to hate the gringos? We have to prepare the people so that they hate
the gringos?
A. If we are going to war we can not do it by saying we are friends. We are
going to war to shot each other, not to embrace each other. Then, the first
preparation is to understand that you have an enemy, the second, that it will
be a prolonged war, of at least seven, eight, nine years and that it will be a
war of resistance, where the gringos may end in two days all of the war
equipment we have. It is a very cruel situation for us, and we understand that
the whole country and maybe the whole continent will be involved.
Q. Do you think the country will embark in an adventure like this one?
A. The problem is not whether we will embark in it or not, the problem is where
we are.
This guy is absolutely crazy, nuts, irresponsible and I am ashamed that he
holds an important office in my country. Not only that, but previously he was
Head of intelligence and Head of the Trade Educational Institute (INCE). He now
leads the land institute (INTI), the same one that has been expropriating land
in the last few months.
Although I know it is useless, as a civilized Venezuelan I request that the
Venezuelan Government fire Mr. Otaiza for his irresponsible and immoral
statements.
The Devil's Excrement
