Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez tells French President Nicolas Sarkozy he is committed to peace

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said he has assured French President Nicolas Sarkozy he is committed to peace, during a talk between the two leaders about the crisis sparked by Colombia's attack on rebels in Ecuador. 'I was telling him that were are a peaceful people and nation, we want peace, and nothing nor anyone will push us off the path of true peace,' Chavez said at a public event, after he sent troops to the Colombian border. He said the discussion with Sarkozy addressed 'the situation created by the Colombian government's violation of Ecuador's sovereignty'."

    'Peace' at any cost is not true peace, in spite of what pacifists and liberals think. Peace, in fact, has to mean something. Be about something -- and not just some convenient status quo for vested interests, either.

    And so a status quo "peace" is not at all in the interests of the oppressed classes of the world. And that's why we have things like revolutions. But guess what? These can and do lead to true peace. How about that, huh?
