Which of the four people on Chavez's list of "brothers" do you think is the most egregious offender against human decency?
Originally posted by FMFMugabe most egregious -- Idi's 300 000 is tame by comparison, although his stagecraft was better -- Ahmadinejab least.
[b]Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has defended jailed killer "Carlos the Jackal" and several world leaders he says are wrongly considered "bad guys".
[quote]In a speech to international socialist politicians, Mr Chavez said "Carlos", a Venezuelan, was not a terrorist but a key "revolutionary fighter".
He is serving a life sentence in France for murde ...[text shortened]... against human decency and which one is the least egregious offender?[/b]

When I initially read this I was most appalled by his praise of Idi Amin... but on second thought, didn't Mugabe kill more than he did?
Anyway, if Chavez ever had any marbles, he's lost them.

Chavez is jumping on a fairly crammed political bandwagon though, I expect to hear warm praise of Kim Il Sung next.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageI have to cry foul!! First of all, Ahmadinejibberjabberer is still alive and kicking. Secondly, he has not had adequate time to wipe away the Zionist nation as if it were the one and only cancerous lesion on the face of the earth. These things take time folks. All in due time, all in due time. After all, getting WMD's up and running take a great deal of time as well as years of world wide inaction as they stand idly by twitling their thumbs. No worries though, if and when they do have nukes I am sure we can reason with them. You know, just don't mention the Holocaust as being a historical event and I am sure we will be able to reason with them. 🙄

Originally posted by FMFWas I the one that started this thread by complaining about Chavez' statement supporting the "egregious 4"? Of all the bones I'd pick with Chavez, spouting off on how these 4 people weren't really so bad would be well down on my list.
So Chavez's daft rhetoric and support for his Egregious Four is of more concern to you than the U.S. material and diplomatic support for the likes of Mobutu and Soeharto - with ghastly death tolls attached?
Originally posted by KazetNagorraReally? And what if he has his way and kills off all the Zionists? How many are there? I suspect more than Idi ever killed. In fact, how many has he killed in his own country to surpress opposition? You do recognize that he engages in this don't you? I guess to find out, I'll just turn on Al Jezeera to get the fair and balanced truth about the matter. Then again, if he beings to make WMD's and supplies them to terrorist organizations around the globe, there may be no way to pin the deaths on him.
Ahmadinejad may be a corrupt fool, but he's nowhere near the killing megalomanic dictators like Idi Amin or Mugabe - also, he doesn't have as much power.
Originally posted by sh76Well, er... the "other question" as you put it, concerned Mobutu and Soeharto and Saddam Hussein. How much more "evil" were the alternatives to these three, for instance?
As for the other question,..
