Controversy and intrigue have swirled around Venezuela's Hugo Chavez
ever since he was elected president seven years ago and established
himself as a leftist force. Chavez's rising influence in Latin American
politics, his country's role as a major supplier of crude oil for U.S.
refiners and his close ties to Cuba's Fidel Castro have alarmed
policymakers in the Bush administration. Last month, on his television
show, the Rev. Pat Robertson actually went so far as to suggest the
United States should assassinate the 51-year-old Chavez. (Robertson
later apologized.)
While Chavez was in New York last week for the gathering of world
leaders at the United Nations, he sat down with Newsweek-Washington
Post's Lally Weymouth. He spelled his dislike for the Bush
administration and described himself as a revolutionary. Dressed in a
bright red shirt, he noted that he was planning to stop in Havana on
his way home so that he could spend several hours talking with Castro.
