Ahmadinejad and Chavez are a bit upset about falling gas prices. I don't know about you, but seeing the price of unleaded under $2.00 has just about made me drive of the road (if you're not so lucky, you have my condolences--I'm giving credit to the nuclear reactor down the road: it may not make sense economically [to give such credit], but I don't care at the moment).
They're also looking to spread the joys of anti-Americanism and capitalism by spreading cash around the third world. [Anybody else having fond memories of the Cold War? Sure, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons yet, but we're not doing anything to hinder them in their pursuit].
And by the way: everything wrong with the world is America's fault. Whether it is poverty, disease, conflict, mismanagement, or aggressive stupidity, the U.S. is behind it:
Mr Ahmadinejad focused on injustice and poverty in the developing world,
laying the blame at Washington's door. "All this is the work of the
superpower."
