Belligerent FARCes

Hugo Chavez 101: people who do this



FARC suicide bombing kills 36

August 8 2002 Bombs tear through a poor Colombian residential neighbourhood killing poor civilians, including children


aren't terrorists, but "belligerent forces". Bolivarian, at that.

However, Venezuelans who exercise the civil rights they'd lived under to voice their dissent? Not only do they get this from the Chavista armed forces,



THEY'RE branded terrorists.

If these people, rather than expressing their dissent civilly, established guerilla camps and slaughtered Venezuelan civilians, created kidnapping and drug production & trafficking networks, took Chavista politicians hostage, and attempted to kill Chavez, any takers on the odds that HugOrthodoxy would find THEM to be not terrorists, but belligerent forces?

"A peasant army" as Frenchman Oliver Stone said of FARC "in an interview with The Associated Press at his hotel bar."?

'I do think that by the standards of Western civilisation they go too far; they kidnap innocent people. On the other hand, they're fighting a desperate battle against highly financed, American-supported forces who have been terrorising the countryside for years and kill most of the people. Farc is fighting back as best
it can and grabbing hostages is the fashion in which they can finance themselves
and try to achieve their goals, which are difficult. They're a peasant army; I
see them as a Zapata-like army. I think they are heroic to fight for what they believe in and die for it, as was Castro in the hills of Cuba.'link

as he tells GRANMA, er, The Guardian?

Any takers that Mr. Stone would see an anti-Chavez FARC equivalent this way?

Didn't think Hugo's reaction to the failure of his Presidente-For-Life initiative and to the capture of one of his cash-for-Peronistas bagmen would be to endorse suicide bombers.

Maybe this endorsement accounts for the languishing of the Danilo Anderson killing: really, if it was the work of belligerent peasant warriors, was it not Bolivarian? And who can fault Bolivarianism?

Oliver, on Chavez:

"Stone in return called Chavez a 'great man'. Asked to explain this description, he said: 'Because he's really made a difference. You sense a revolutionary spirit throughout Venezuela. He doesn't seem like a tyrant to me at all, he doesn't seem even like a strongman, he seems like a man who respects the law. He's abided by the constitution far faster than Bush has abided by our constitution.' Stone also said that he was impressed with the socialist President at close quarters. 'America has heavily invested in publicising anything negative about Chavez, but I have to admire him in person as an honest man, a strong man and a soldier."

Yep, sending goon squads to assault women for marching, that's not the work of tyrants, or even strongmen, that's the work of a law-abindin' honest, strong soldier.

Hey, Ollie wanted us to buy Colin Farrell's blond frighty wig in "Alexander" too.
