"Chavez has made a career out of bashing the United States and allied himself with Iran and Syria."
Washington Post writer Juan Forero said:
"A central ideological pillar of Chavez's rule over 14 years has been to oppose Republican and Democratic administrations in Washington, which he accuses of trying to destabilize his government."
