<p>Big Green - you can’t be serious. Treason? </p>
<p>We’ve been buying oil from countries whose leaders hate us for years.
Rumsfeld calls the Iranian leader (rightly) terrorists, but we still buy their oil. Until we have some other source of energy, we’re dependent on a lot of people we don’t like very much and who don’t like us even more.</p>
<p>I may have been overreaching - but Chavez has become a dictator and is hurting his own people. He has become an avowed enemy of the United States - selling us oil as we also buy it because it benefits both sides. The oil sales are purely commercial. What disturbs me are those Americans like Delahunt, Sheehan, etc. who travel down to Caracas to parrot Chavez’s anti-American rants. <a href=“http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/burtis020606.htm[/url]”>http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/burtis020606.htm</a></p>

<li>Violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.</li>
<li>A betrayal of trust or confidence.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, yes, their behavior has been treasonous by definition if not by law.</p>
<p>Offtopic but: Actually it’s more like Right, that American leaders are terrorists. 100’000 Iraqis dead people (Wait sorry make that 0… I forgot anyone who isn’t on “teh allies side” is not human)… for what? </p>
<p>weapons of magic destruction? </p>
<p>how can you be more of a terrorist? Anyone who delights in flesh so much stands on par with Hitler in my books.</p>
<p>I don’t agree with “with Mr. Chavez’s assertions” because I did not read about his “assertions” because I have something else to do. I stated my opinion in regards to the previous comment, and mentioned that it was OFF TOPIC.</p>
