Yea, that would just be terrible if Chavez died. C'mon! I would be about as upset if the US assassinated Chavez as I would if Castro was the target.

Call me old-fashioned, but I guess I'm just not big on ordering the murders of other people -- particularly the democratically elected leaders of countries posing no threat to mine. Maybe Pastor Pitts feels differently, I don't know.
