Chavez says the United States is trying to bring him before an international court

President Hugo Chavez says the United States is trying to bring him before an international court. Chavez says the United States is using accusations that the Venezuelan government is supporting the Lebanese group Hezbollah to 'see if the world will make a move' against him. The U.S. has charged a Venezuelan official and others with helping Hezbollah. Washington considers the armed group and political party in Lebanon a terrorist organization. The U.S. Treasury Department said Wednesday that it has frozen the accounts of two Venezuelans: Diplomat Nasr al Din and Lebanese-born businessman Fazwi Kan'an. Kan'an, who owns a travel agency in Caracas, called the accusations 'pure lies.'

  1. Before trying to take Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to the International Court for aiding terrorism, the U.S. should itself be taken before the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, Holland, for its aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Besides setting up a terrorist government in Colombia, and setting up a puupet regime in Afghanistan under one Hamid Karzai. But, the U.S. has also exported weapons secretly to many illegal government all over the world that do its bidding.
