McGrath, if you have a plausible theory of how he may have been poisoned with cancer by his enemies I, and I'm sure medical science, would love to hear it.

Bravo Kendall.

Chavez improved the lot of millions in his own country; he funded the fabulously successful el sistema youth-orchestras programme which has lured hundreds of thousands of impoverished youngsters away from drugs and crime, and he played a major role in helping Cuba survive what would otherwise have been crippling sanctions imposed by successive US admins.

He had his flaws, but definitely one of the good guys.

The suspicions might well be wrong. But the assumption that they are absurd is as shaky as sinilar assumptions would be about, say, the authorities in Russia in regard to Litvinenko. Or Israel, in regard to Arafat's, where similar suspicions have been raised.

Governments are capable of just about every kind of nastiness, pretty well all governments.

And in te case of Chavez it is inevitable that the history of the reported 638 assassination attempts against Fidel Cstro over the years must colour the thinking of Venezuelans.

OK, he Chavez was left leaning, and not like imperialisism, and spoke out gainst some of the past USA government (Latin America area)actions of this type (as the USA had a major impact in the region in the past, that benefited USA companies and policies). But, many in the USA, on the left, have said similar things.

Is it not a time to be objective about his governing record, like him or not?

Yeah, they are saying the U.S. plotted, and gave him cancer.....oh well, if you believe that, it's probably because you've been well trained to believe lying government statements....and God only knows, we've had a lot of practice here!

He cared more about our poor than our own government did. I buy CITGO gas whenever I can.

Cancer fells comrade Chavez - Vice President Nicolas Maduro accuses President Hugo Chavez's enemies of poisoning him with the cancer he has been battling for nearly two years.

"Behind all of [the plots] are the enemies of the fatherland," he said on state television.
