For those sad that Chavez has died...

Have no fear, he will rise again!
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said so!

Just before leaving for Venezuela to attend the funeral of Hugo Chávez, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad penned a laudatory tribute for the late president.

"[Chavez] is alive, as long as nations are alive and struggle for consolidating independence, justice and kindness. I have no doubt that he will come back, and along with Christ the Saviour, the heir to all saintly and perfect men, and will bring peace, justice and perfection for all," Ahmadinejad wrote in a letter he sent the Venezuelan vice president.

Iran, brings "Peace, justice and kindness?" HAR!

toward Chavez, a Catholic , from Ahmadinejad - a Muslim.

Infinately better than the lame response from elsewhere in the Americas.

Is not the bad guy we are told he is. But, then he has a Holocaust denial thing going on. But, perhaps that is the way he was raised and can't shake it.

What a nasty political regime he runs! What a good thing the rest of us aren't like that.

Seems to be not so big a deal among some people though. I am not sure the people that say he is a bad guy are saying it because of the torture thing or because of his religion.
