2008-09-21 21:20:02 - CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is starting a five-nation tour with a stop in Cuba to meet with Fidel Castro. Chavez says he will meet with the Cuban leader Sunday night and from there will travel on to Beijing, Moscow and another Russian city he didn't identify. He said he'll finish the weeklong tour with stops in France and Portugal. Chavez plans to make a brief stop of several hours in Paris at the invitation of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Chavez said he and Sarkozy plan to discuss «very important issues on Europe, the world, the bilateral relationship.
The Venezuelan leader said he expects to be back in Caracas next Saturday.

rahul, I like this story. It's good stuff. Chavez, Hitler and Castro. Three in the same.

Let us see for a minute. The most devoted Catholic was Hitler...and he did not communicate with God as Bush stated in the past! Unlike others American Presidents, neither Chavez nor Castro invaded a country..... Like Bush did invade Iraq. Hitler came out after a world recession in the 30's. On the other hand, Castro has endured an American imposed embargo during the last years and confronted a US sponsored invasion at Bay of Pigs. Chavez has enjoyed rising oil prices but devoted revenues to increase local health and education access. Chavez administration also provides oil at a discounted price for neighbouring countries. Sadly and under the Bush Administration, the US and world economies are plundering. Hitler believed in the superiority of the Arian race....some have believed WASP are there to rein in the Americas. Chavez has been criticised for his mixed race background. And Castro has Spanish origins but did not claim to have any superiority because of it. In conclusion, it seems including the three in the same category as suggested does not make proper sense. Perhaps, it would make a better logic to determine where to put Bush instead.
