Title: Hugo Chavez vs Microsoft
Post by: DavidB on 6 October 2005, 11:42

Having taken on corrupt oil companies, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is now lowering the boom on a variety of other rogue corporations, apparently including Microsoft. This man is a saint!

Chavez claiwed that the US was planning an invasion from te Dutch Antilles.

It's known that Venezuela wants to take the islands from the Netherlands.

I know that Chavez suspected the U.S. of planning an invasion from the Dutch Antilles (and I suspect he was right). But I've never heard anything about Chavez wanting to invade or annex the islands. Given his talent for allying with other nations, I would think he'd cozy up to the local government and make some sort of agreement.

Venuzuela wants the islands for decades, it's old news really.
