Ahmadinejad lauds Chavez as a leader whose word, deed are same.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Sunday said that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is one of the rare world leaders whose word and deed are the same.He made the remark at a ceremony held at Tehran University, where Iran’s highest national badge was submitted to Chavez.
The chief executive named Chavez as his brother as well as that of the Iranian nation and all the world freedom and justice seeking nations.
He said that seeking justice, worshiping God Almighty and campaign against the world hegemony are among the most important features of the Venezuelan president.
"Along with his loyal friends, Chavez stands against the bullying of the world hegemony like a hero and defends justice.
"He has devoted his life to serving his nation and the world freedom-seeking nations. He is one of his people and seeks freedom for all nations," he added.
Underlining that the world requires competent and justice-seeking human beings, the president said, "To overcome colonialism and bullying usurpers, self-relying and justice-oriented men willing to devote themselves to the humanity are required. Chavez is one of such men."
What does the Iranian president mean when he says Chavez is "his brother as well as that of the Iranian nation and all the world freedom and justice seeking nations?" I would contend that it means that Venezuala is "not with us" in the new world, and must therefore be "against us." As I have been saying, the pieces are beginning to fall into place. Sides are being picked. Will the fighting all take place "over there" in the coming war? What will be our response to further cozying up to South American entities by our sworn enemies? You might want to review the Monroe Doctrine here… and the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine here. We may need to pull both out from mothballs in defense of our nation before too long at the rate things are going.
