  "We Will Resist Together the American Imperialist Aggression"

So, Chavez of Arabia was in Damascus yesterday where he got a hero's welcome ... and he's headed to Angola today.

From Al Jazeera
:
Thousands of Syrians have turned out in Damascus to welcome Hugo Chavez with banners and flags.

The Venezuelan president was in Syria to show support for Bashar al-Assad's government and stand together against the US government's "imperialistic" aggression in the Middle East.

The Venezuelan president said on his arrival at Damascus airport late on Tuesday: "We have the same political vision and we will resist together the American imperialist aggression."
According to Bloomberg a couple of days ago, Chavez was expected to sign oil agreements with Syria. It's viewed as part of his campaign for a seat on the UN security council -- and of course, to express solidarity with his brothers who's slogan is "Death to America!"

He'll be in Angola sometime today, but the Angolan president says that it won't be a problem with ANgola's relationship with the US. (Wow. That's a relief.)

Incidentally, AM Mora y Leon presented a great article on Confiscation of the Green in Venezuela. It's good to see him back.
