I think we should invoke the <a href="http://www.hoophall.com/halloffamers/Monroe.htm" rel="nofollow"><b>Earl "the Pearl" Monroe Doctrine,</b></a> which says any leading figure in America who utters something so brainless and crude that it delights anti-Americans everywhere should be dribbled down the court of public opinion and dunked head-first in a tank of horseshit.

Having Chavez assassinated would probably only result in a power struggle amongst his lackeys in Venezuela's army, and who's to say that whoever came out on top wouldn't turn out just as bad, or worse? No, to bring about the kind of change Robertson apparently has in mind would take much more than a mere assassination. But the last thing the U.S. needs right now is to take yet another whole far-flung country under occupation, thank you very much. We've already got our hands quite full with Afghanistan and Iraq.

You obviously need to do some research on this.
