OP-ED:
Palast - Chavez' Comments -Strategy or Ravings?
You'd think George Bush would get down on his knees and kiss Hugo Chavez's behind. Not only has Chavez delivered cheap oil to the Bronx and other poor communities in the United States. And not only did he offer to bring aid to the victims of Katrina. In my interview with the president of Venezuela on March 28, he made Bush the following astonishing offer: Chavez would drop the price of oil to $50 a barrel, "not too high, a fair price," he said -- a third less than the $75 a barrel for oil recently posted on the spot market. That would bring down the price at the pump by about a buck, from $3 to $2 a gallon.
Trying to kill a fly with a sledgehammer
Picture this: A fly keeps buzzing around you as you try to take a nap. You swing at it a couple of times but it keeps returning. You get up and grab the most convenient thing at hand, which happens to be a sledgehammer. The fly is sitting there on your table, and you're so angry at the fly that you swing without considering the collateral damage you will cause. Your table is crushed and the fly got away, only to return with its buzzing in your ear. Sound ridiculous? Sure it is, but so is dropping 500-pound bombs to kill one or two men.
