Pat Robertson Was Right!

I'm sure everybody and their grandmothers have heard what televangelist Pat Robertson said about Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Well, I happened to be watching the 700 Club when Mr. Robertson made his comment and I must say I wholeheartedly agree with him. First off, Mr. Robertson didn't come out on his show and call for Chavez's assasination right off the bat. Instead, there was an in depth news analysis of Chavez and the threat he poses to the U.S; after that, Mr. Robertson was commenting on Chavez and mentioned that Chavez had accused the U.S. of trying to assasinate him. Then Mr. Robertson said that if that was the case, the U.S. should "take him(Chavez)out" and avoid another "200 billion dollar war" a reference to Iraq, of course. And, as I said, I agree. It would be nice if we lived in a paradise where all conflicts between nations could be settled without violence. But we don't live in a paradise, and if violence is part of international relations, then isn't it better, more moral, to kill a handful of leaders who actually implement the policies that threaten you, rather than wage war on a whole nation of people who have nothing to do with their government's policies? Why is it that so many poeple are prepared to swallow the camel of war, however distasteful it may be, but strain on the gnat of assasination? Look at it this way, if the democracies could've brought down the Nazi regime and replaced it with the democratic opposition by killing Hitler and his major henchmen, wouldn't that have been better than waging a war that killed 50 million people? That's what Mr. Robertson was getting at. Maybe his comment was too blunt for our politically correct times, but we need more blunt truth and alot less pc mush. Chavez is no nice guy. He's an America-loathing dictator who's muzzled his nation's press, made it illegal to criticize him, supports Columbia's Marxist FARC narcoterrorists, receives moral support from an Argentine Holocaust denier, and wants to use Venezuela's oil billions to support Muslim extremists. He's a danger to the U.S., and if it takes a few well-placed bullets to solve the Chavez problem, so be it. Pat was right!
