    True, Chavez is one of the only leaders who is willing to stand up to the U.S. I don't agree with all of his policies, but he sure has cojones! I'm sure the U.S. has a plan for him, one that includes assassination and/or coup d’état. According to Chavez, the CIA has tried it before and they probably haven't finished trying.
