Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, recently kicked the Drug Enforcement Administration out of Venezuela, saying "the DEA's war on drugs has nothing to do with actually shutting down the business, but is rather part of a strategy of political intervention in Latin American affairs." It is clear that the DEA vendetta regarding Marc Emery is also a political intervention. If Venezuelans can have a government that looks after their sovereignty, why are we in Canada stuck with politicians who so much enjoy the flavour of George Bush's bathwater?
