don't believe the hype

Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez is up to his tricks again. This time he's offering cheap oil to Britain's poor. I think this guy should be applauded for his audacity. As one British MP said "We in Britain are in danger of subcontracting out most of our foreign policy to Washington. Chavez is the antidote to that". The same applies here in Australia.

Meanwhile, Bush banned arms sales to Venezuela.
