Oh, great, all the Arab countries need right now is to cozy up to a whacko like Chavez. That will help their legitimate grievances and righteous cause all right! I have said it before, this part of the world desperately needs a great spokesperson and leader on the order of Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu, Ghandi and Ansung Sui Kyi. I believe our Emir could be one such person, Hanan Ashrawi another. Insha'allah.
