Abstract
"A lot of people don't like Hugo Chavez, the elected revolutionary leader of oil-rich Venezuela. At the top of the list, of course, is President George W. Bush, whom Chavez recently described as ""the devil"" in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly. Others include many voters in other Latin American nations, including Peru and Mexico, who resent Chavez's efforts to influence elections in their countries. But someone else who might have reason not to like him is Raul Castro --Fidel's younger brother and defense minister who became acting president of Cuba this past summer until Fidel recovers from his illness (if he ever does)."
