Chavez the mountebank

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday he has documentary evidence that the United States plans to invade his country. Chavez, interviewed on ABC's "Nightline," said the plan is called "Balboa" and involves aircraft carriers and planes. A transcript of the interview was made available by "Nightline."

No doubt other countries applauded this ridiculous rant, but that is exactly why they are third world countries. Unless they understand that this kind of rubbish is meaningless, not constructive and certainly won’t accelerate their development, they don’t stand a chance.
