I've Been Thinking:

Yesterday was Israel's 61st birthday.
US President Obama called and gave his blessing to Israel, emphasizing how his vision supports Israel and the peace process.

President Mubarak of Egypt also called. He congratulated President Shimon Peres and expressed the wish that this year the peace process will get back on track.

Interestingly, on Monday Venezuela chose to initiate a diplomatic agreement and the Palestinians opened an embassy in Caracas, Venezuela.
During this past winter's operation against Hamas, Chavez expelled the Israeli ambassador. Yesterday the Palestinian Foreign minister called Hugo Chavez the most popular leader in the Arab world.

Chavez is so popular because he challenges the priorities of the West.
Chavez is the voice of the many people that are afraid to challenge the United States and US hegemony and the US orientation in the world.

Chavez is what they call a very bad boy.
And very bad boys tend to become very popular n the Middle East.
