(Reuters photo)Hugo Chavez has arrived in Iran, for all kinds of troublemaking.
It didn't take long for the crazy dictator talk to begin, and for the leftist caudillo and fanatical Islamist to reveal what they have in common — a hatred of the United States and a hatred of Israel.
From EFE News:
"This man is my brother and I hope he will be my companion in the struggle." — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran.
Israel's current military offensive in Lebanon was similar to what "Hitler did with the Jews" during World War II. — Hugo Chavez.
As bothersome as it is to see Chavez get chummy with the Iranians, this actually is not the most worrisome stop of Chavez's current world tour.
That came earlier in Russia.
But in this smaller, ever-dangerous world we live in, where a terrorist cell really doesn't need that much except for good cover, the Iranian influence role in South America that Chavez is cultivating could be eventually be as dangerous, if not more, than a squadron of Russian-made jets.
