Leonardo Kosloff: "The point is Chávez evades the question because he wants to, or rather, sees it as necessary to, build a political-economic (those are different sides of the same coin) alliance with Ahmedinejad. If you think this is something to celebrate, then 'unthinkingly' is perhaps a word which this disagreement should have started with in the first place."
But why should Chávez answer any questions like this AT ALL? His job description IS NOT "comment on current events" but "defend the national interests of Venezuela." What is dismissed as an "alliance" with Ahmedinejad which is not "something to celebrate" is instead the confluence of the national interests of Venezuela and Iran, two countries that are special targets of imperialism. Chávez does not "evade the question." On the contrary, he exposes the political motivation of those trying to drive a wedge between third world countries for the benefit of imperialism.
