Chancellery: US is creating climate to attack Venezuela
The Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry Monday issued a communique expressing that “the government of the United States climbs to new heights of cynicism and shamelessness, when it tries to tie Venezuela to its particular vision of international terrorism.”
In this way, the Venezuelan Chancellery reacted to the US move to ban the sales of weapons to Venezuela for considering that Hugo Chàvez Government is not “cooperating enough” to fight terrorism.
“Behind its despicable accusations is a useless campaign of shame designed to isolate Venezuela, destabilize its democratic government and prepare the political conditions for an attack,” said the communique.
The Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry ensured that, among other plans, Washington intends to handicap Venezuelan defenses. “There is too much clarity to obscure it with accusations and shameless acts,” the document added.
“We ratify that Venezuela will not succumb to pressures. It will firmly resist the attacks of this nature and counsels not to confuse the cowardly and opportunistic expressions of some, with the will of the people. This is an error that they have committed recently with other people that pay dearly with their dignity, but who also must pay with the price of aggression.”
The communique stressed that Venezuela “not hesitate to close its fist to respond to aggression, verbal as well as material, as undertaken by an immoral government with an aggressive nature.”
“If not ‘collaborating’ means not supporting the virtual genocide that it (US) practices against the Iraqi people and failing to condemn it with all one’s might before all the possible forums, then under no concept or pretext Venezuela is not willing to ‘collaborate.'”

Welcome to London, President Chavez!
President Hugo Ch‡vez of Venezuela will today become the second head of state–after the Queen–to be welcomed to London’s City Hall. When it comes to the social transformation taking place in Venezuela, the political qualifications often necessary in our imperfect world can be set aside. It is crystal clear on which side right and justice lies. For many years people have demanded that social progress and democracy go hand in hand, and that is exactly what is now taking place in Venezuela.
