STATESMAN SPEAKS

Hugo Chavez, joined on stage by Che's daughter, thrills a Vienna crowd:

"I am sure that this century will see the end of American imperialism," he declared. "For every pig the day arrives for slaughter. For the pig of American imperialism, that time has come."

Chavez also did some name dropping:

... invoking the names of Jesus Christ, Karl Marx, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Tse-tung and the Beatles in the cause of global revolution.

Muslims aren't going to be part of his revolution, I guess.
