Horrible Hugo Chavez visits Syria

Venezuela's dictator has gone to Syria, where he's met with their own dictator, Bashar al-Assad, and hopes that the Golan will be surrendered to them:

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Thursday that Israel "does not have the desire to give anything for the sake of peace."

Assad made the comments during a visit by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Syria.

Chavez reiterated that Caracas supports Syria's right to win the return of the Golan Heights and said "I hope the day comes when I when visit the Golan after it is freed."

Chavez said that he and his Syrian counterpart are "on the offensive" against Western imperialism.

Translation: they're against America as well, as the following makes clear:

In Damascus, Chavez said that he and Syrian President Bashar Assad are building ties "to accelerate the fall of (US) imperialist hegemony and the birth of the new world of equilibrium and peace."

"We're on the offensive," Chavez said. "We're building an alternative."

The two also discussed a proposed oil project and signed several economic agreements.

Chavez arrived in Syria on Wednesday from Teheran, where he and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said they are united in efforts to establish a "new world order" that will eliminate Western dominance over global affairs.

And give rise to their totalitarian ideas, right? Sickening.

On the subject of oil, maybe some people are right when they say it's corrupting: when it comes under the control of totalitarians like Ahmedinejad, Chavez, and Assad, not to mention Saudi Arabia, that's when it really spells trouble.
