opec:-----threatens america with oil

Sometimes I drop my head on my chest when read or watch the political antics of the Clown, Chavez Hugo. There is a tendency for belligerence to take a continental outlook, like China and America or Russia and America or Russia and Europe etc. I have been asking myself, what is Chavez, a leader of Venezuaella, a country that lies in the same Hemisphere and continent with America, upto by being so diabolically opposed to America? Is the Oil wealth he is presiding over giving him a false sense of super power? Does he want to team up with America's enemies to deal a death blow to the American civilization? Just look at Chavez-he knows American foreign policies and interests in Cuba, Iran, but he quickly takes the other side of the table on these matters, not just once, but always.Why does he play with a dangerous country like America? The oil Question now being used as a weapon to subdue America will not work, and I am not being a doomsday sayer, but the next world war will probably be sparked off by men like Hugo Chavez who appear to be daring America too far. I hope he doesnt get the Saddam kind of treatment very soon.
