Bush, Chavez duel on Latin America tours : "US President George W. Bush and his left-wing nemesis Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez squared off on duelling tours of Latin America on Friday as they vied for the region's hearts and minds."
I'm sorry, I can't help it. I love all of this. Bush vs. Chavez is really, really good. Healthy. Fantastic. It is great to see someone like President Hugo Chavez come out and take on someone like President Bush, because in the end, the people win. President Chavez is confident and knows his people well. President Bush is also very confident, has a lot of experience and he does not shy away from strong opposition. If nothing else, as a man who loves the land, he understands the land and its people. So you do not get pale faced, cholesterol choked board room politics from President Bush. If President Chavez is speaking on behalf of his people , President Bush will go out there and see them. Talk to them. They might not like what he is saying. They might not like his ethanol diplomacy, but they have to like the fact they have not been ignored and that President Chavez can get President Bush to visit and that President Bush is there to acknowledge what they have to say. If it takes some one like President Chavez to bring out the best in President Bush then that's a good thing for everyone...because then they have a chance to look at what's on offer and what is best for them. They can also see that leaders are interested in who they are and what they are about. It all nice , loud, healthy debate. I love it.
