Some of us are kinda upset about Dubya and his "signing statements."
Chavez being able to rule by decree is on a different level altogether.

That's not propaganda; it's fact.
An enlightened dictatorship is, without question, the most efficient
form of government. It may even be necessary for Venezuela.
However, the test of a government occurs when it transfers leadership at
the behest of its people.
Until Chavez handles that, he's a dictator. Maybe he'll even be a good
one, but history is not on his side. He gets promoted to "liberator",
"great leader", etc. *after* he completes what needs to be done and
turns power back over to the people.
That fact Chavez tweaks Dubya may give me a warm fuzzy, but it doesn't
make him any less a dictator.
