How about: A lot of drugs come from Colombia, therefore the country is evil, and Colombia and Venezuela are sort of identical because the peeps look the same and speak the same funny language, so let's go invade Venezuela!

But their passion would prove to be no match for the passion of the supporters of President Hugo Chávez as he was challenged by Manuel Rosales, governor of the oil-rich Venezuelan state of Zulia. (Rosales was generally referred to simply as "the opposition.") While voting is voluntary in Venezuela, a right guaranteed by the Constitution, all but 1.1 million of 16 million people over the age of 18 are registered to vote. There are 11,000 polling centers around the country, even in local jails. In the end, 70 percent of the population exercised their franchise.

At the same time, the right-wing National Review published a cover story by Pres. Bush’s top Latin America aide during his first term, Otto Reich, a Cuban-American, on “Latin America’s Terrible Two,” referring to Pres. Chavez and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The magazine’s cover, with a photo of the two men in close conversation, featured a banner reading “The Axis of Evil ...Western Hemisphere Version.”

“

“It’s as if these people have a compulsive need to see Latin American reality only through a Manichean lens, whereby they have to identify an evil force to mobilize against and the complexities of the region get simplified into these dualisms of good and evil,” said Geoffrey Thale of the Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights group.

“We’ve been dealing with Castro as evil incarnate, and we’ve made ourselves a laughing-stock throughout the region and done nothing to effectively encourage democratization and human rights in Cuba,” he added. “If we approach Chavez the same way, we’re likely to have the same results.”

Just enjoying the irony that you ask others to provide unbiased sources for their claims, and then use Final Call as a source for yours.
