Chávez is Hero To Latin America

Dear Nica Times:

You must learn to report news with a better attitude.

Why do you call Venezuela President Hugo Chávez investing his time and money here as competition to the United States? He has an open face, is popular, and is a hero in Latin America, just like President Daniel Ortega.

On the other hand, U.S. President George W. Bush is not to be trusted. He is a proven liar and a hypocrite. Just look at the face of Bush. Any 3-year-old can see he is a liar.

So why shouldn’t the world and especially Latin America like Chávez? It’s very simple; even you could learn why if you are older than three.
