23. Why should he take heat?

Edited on Thu Apr-27-06 04:14 PM by Vetinarii

Chavez has absolutely no responsibility to keep oil prices down, even if it were within his power (which it isn't).

His job is to get the best deal he can for the people of his country, Venezuela. If that means screwing the American consumer, then it's no less than his moral duty to do just that.

Pulling out of OPEC would be a betrayal of his own people.
