Sorry people, but we have two out of control idiots in control of vast supplies of the world's known oil reserves and production. While Ahmadenijad rattles his sabre playing the rougue nation/state in world politics, Venezuelan thug-leader Chavez kicks the ground hoping for attention. While some say he has an unconventional style and is a 'little rough around the edges', I identify the Chavez regime as a threat to the security of the United States and an open enemy of our general welfare, not to mention an enemy to the freedom of the people within Venezuela.

Caracas (Rueters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Friday to cut diplomatic ties with Spain if the former colonial power's king does not apologize for thelling him earlier this minth to 'shut up' at a summit meeting. Speaking at a rally for a referendum on Sunday on expanding his powers, Chavez also warned he could start to consider acting against Spanish companies in the OPEC nation if King Juan Carlos fails to meet his demand. Chavez's threats were an escalation of the spat with Spain and came as he intensified disputes with Colombia and the United States. He has already frozen diplomatic ties with Spain over the king's rebuke and threatened to take over some of the multi-billion dollar investments of Spanish companies that operate in the banking, telecommunications and oil sectors. 'If this does not happen (the king apologizes), then I won't have anything to do with Spain,' Chavez said. (Reporting by Saul Hudson; editing by Todd Eastham)
