I am far from an apologist for the United States' treatment of either Cuba or Venezuela, but in terms of playing the demonization card, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Fidel Castro has been using the US as his perennial boogeyman for half a century. One does not require very powerful Google-fu to find high-profile examples of Hugo Chavez doing the same.

OK you made me change your mind. I now also find it strange that a man uses a country as a boogeyman after that country tried to kill him, tried to invade his country, occupies party of his country, boycots his country and treats fled drugdealers as heroes.
Anyway to go back to discussion topic which was gas prizes.
I think Chavez ensures super low fuel prizes in Venezuela....I think this is not a good thing. Even in Venezuela people apparently find their car more important than anything else......people are the same everywhere.

Gotta hope the world isn't forced to deal (pun intended) with the USITC, eh?

Remember that little event called the Cold War, fears of world-wide communist expansion, and culminating in the "Cuban Missile Crisis" when the US and the USSR were as close as they ever could have been to starting WWWIII? There were more geo-political factors in play than just the big bully US picking on poor little Castro.

The way that the US handled Cuba back then was stupid. They drove Castro to the USSR.
The point is that Chavez is a different story.

New site I just made, give it a look see please.
Thanks
I re tweeked the site to be more information based rather then a "movement". Now you can get daily RSS feeds from topics such as Gas Prices, E 85, Hydrogen, Hybrid cars, and Energy. So now its news based on the daily topics we all want to read and learn about with key topics automatically grabbed from multiple sites and inserted into one spot on my site. Maybe thats a better approach.
