Devil's Excrement
Chavez hugs, cavorts with and embraces bloody Dicator
and murderer Mugabe in Rome. Chávez praised
Mugabe’s policies, saying the African leader
had been “demonized” and that Venezuela
was enacting similar reforms to undo “the unfair
structures of colonialism.”. This picture and
Chavez words are extremely offensive to me and represent
the opposite of everything I believe in.. I guess
it takes one to know one. Very obscene.

The leaders of Zimbabwe and Venezuela teamed up at
a U.N. hunger forum Monday to blame the United States
and other wealthy nations for famine, war and pollution,
with the African leader calling President Bush and
British Prime Minister Tony Blair “unholy men.”
“Countries such as the U.S. and Britain have
taken it upon themselves to decide for us in the developing
world, even to interfere in our domestic affairs and
to bring about what they call regime change,”
Mugabe said.
“The voice of Mr. Bush and the voice of Mr.
Blair can’t decide who shall rule in Zimbabwe,
who shall rule in Africa, who shall rule in Asia,
who shall rule in Venezuela, who shall rule in Iran,
who shall rule in Iraq.”
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, a fierce
critic of Washington, accused “the North American
empire” of threatening “all life on the
planet.” American and British delegates said
Mugabe and Chávez made a mockery of the forum,
while the verbal attacks generated applause from other
delegates at the gathering of the U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization...

United States’ ambassador to FAO, Tony Hall
criticised the organisation for inviting Mugabe to
its anniversary event, saying Mugabe’s policies
were helping to starve his own people. "It is
disheartening that Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe,
who is reponsible for growing hunger in his country,
has chosen to participate," he said. "Zimbabwe,
once the breadbasket of southern Africa, can no longer
feed itself. Three million Zimbabweans have been forced
to flee their homes and live in exile in order to
provide for their families," he added...

“The red carpet will be stained with the blood
of the poor people who in this moment are dying of
hunger and thirst in Africa,” said Italian senator
Sergio Agroni, a leader of the parliament’s
agriculture commission. “Rome is welcoming one
of the most terrible dictators and destroyers of the
African continent.”

Mugabe departed from his text at a ceremony marking
the 60th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Food
and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to accuse Bush
and Blair of illegally invading Iraq and looking to
unseat governments elsewhere. “Must we allow
these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who
in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed an
unholy alliance — formed an alliance to attack
an innocent country?” he said...

Matthew Wyatt, Britain's representative at the FAO,
said Mugabe's presence at a conference on food and
hunger was a "sick irony". He told the Guardian:
"It is extremely unfortunate that Mugabe was
at this occasion. He has created hunger and poverty
in his own country."
Wyatt said that he and other delegates had gone to
the anniversary celebrations "to remind ourselves
that there are, by the FAO's estimate, 852 million
hungry people, and that we face a huge challenge meeting
the millennium development goals. Having somebody
like Mugabe present was entirely inappropriate. It
would have been better for all of us - the FAO included
- if he had not come."...
Hugo Chávez, told Italy's Ansa news agency:
"I pay tribute to Mugabe." The Venezuelan
president added: "The president of Zimbabwe is
made out to be a villain - because he takes land from
those who don't need it to give it to those who need
it to live."...

The US ambassador to the FAO, Tony Hall, said Mr Mugabe,
as well as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who also
criticised Western policy, "chose to politicise
an event that was meant to be about feeding the hungry
people of the world"...
