What if we said we didn't like actions taken by Canada that impacted our dollar value and hurt our economy and thus deprived the American people of their rightful economic well-being. What if we threatened China over shoddy material, foot that killed pets, toys that contained lead that may have or will lead to deaths of children, food that is contaminated and killed several people - what if we threatened China for undermining American integrity, our well-being, depriving us of value for our money (in supplying shoddy products - fraud).
Would the world look at us as a little odd? Maybe a furrowed brow, squint, a look you'd find on the face of a 10 month old just about to let loose with built up gas pressure - perhaps.
Hugo Chavez is threatening to cut off all oil to the US if Exxon Mobil wins a court judgment to seize his governments assets. Reason being: he seized their property in Venezuela and they are asking to seize his in the US and other countries. AP. Chavez Threatens US Oil Cutoff. 2/10/08. (amazing timing isn't it - just when oil prices are in decline.)
Is not the threat of oil a weapon, like cutting off food to the poor?
he can say whatever he likes, the world knows he is a bully and a bad one at that. He is not half the man Castro was and never will be, for his time draws near - the Venezuelan people have said no to him and will again say no. When he flees as wimp assed tyrants usually do, he will hide in Cuba, until Castro dies, at which time he will have to flee to Iran. Good riddance.
