Oliver Stone: Dispatch From Caracas
"So is President Chávez really the anti-American pariah we've read about for years? "
Well, he does spout a lot of anti-American rhetoric, but he may not be as anti-American as he likes to portray himself. As to pariah, probably not. South America is used to strong men who take the assets or jail those who disagree with them. The question is, if the prospect of losing at the ballot box looms, will he go all Pinochet on us.
Never mind, Ollie, you just keep hob-nobbing with the power-elite and acting as their apologist. It's what you're good at.
