    King of Spain Tells Chavez to "Shut Up"

    King Juan Carlos had a bit of a go at Hugo Chavez after he branded Former Spanish PM Jose Maria Anzar a "facist" and added that snakes were human than facists. He certainly knows how to get a reaction out of people anyway. Link to BBC:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7089131.stm


    Interesting story also in the report about a dispute between Uruguay and Argentina over a Finnish owned pulp mill and the environmental effects which Argentina think it may have on the area. The Argentinians have taken it to the International Court and are awaiting a decision.

    Completely agree, Chavez has some neck. I wonder if he has a limit as to how much sh!t talking he will do or will it be a case that the longer he stays in power, the more full of bull************************ bravado he becomes.

    After his despicable actions during the Madrid bombings Aznar is not a democrat. And if Aznar supported former fascists is it not fair to accuse him of being a fascist?
    But lets forget about all that...

    Telling the truth = "bull************************ bravado"

    Well said Hugo! There's no place in the 21st century for unelected kings. Southern and Central America would be much better off going it alone instead of kow-towing to their former Spanish and Portuguese imperial masters.

    Well said by Juan Carlos. Just goes to show, what a funny notion of democracy many people have.

    I doubt that Chavez is used to being put down like a child. Hopefully, he'll learn something from it.

    Chazev has all the making of another Mugabe in the making. I think it's time we looked at the sanctions option.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.
