Hugo Chávez’s
Alliance with Iran’s Ahmadinejad
There is justified alarm and, more than that, indignation, in the Western world, especially in the Americas, because of the imminent visit of Iran’s dictator, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Hugo Chávez’s Venezuela. Officially, it has been informed that Ahmadinejad will also visit Castro’s Cuba, Nicaragua and Ecuador.
There is a noticeable insistence that is extremely dangerous for the region in the case of Venezuela. This is not an unimportant courtesy visit, but a meeting between two rulers identified as enemies of the government of the United States of America and other democratic governments. This is not the first meeting that Chávez has with Ahmadinejad. They have a friendship of many years.
No great imagination is needed to understand that it is a very dangerous and serious situation for Western democracy this alliance of Hugo Chávez, with his oil, and President Ahmadinejad with his nuclear aspirations.
Naturally, Venezuelans from one or several political parties who love democracy are indignant in the face of this alliance that compromises the political destiny of Venezuela understood in terms of genuine democracy.
Hugo Chávez is not only challenging the United States of America but also the Venezuelans who are identified with freedom and the governments and political leaders in the Western Hemisphere that reject Iran’s imperialist policies. Hugo Chávez is challenging the free world on a daily basis not only with this extremely dangerous alliance with the Tehran regime, but also in numerous ways that are incompatible with Venezuela’s historic destiny.
How much longer will the Venezuelan nation be at the mercy of the whims of Hugo Chávez?
