Playing with fire

From another report on the U.S. admonition of Castro and Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez....

The U.S. administration's point man on Latin America accused Fidel Castro on Tuesday of promoting "provocative" policies to destabilize democratic governments and warned the Cuban leader he was "playing with fire."

"Those that continue in destabilizing democratically elected governments, interfering in the internal affairs of other governments, are playing with fire," he said.

And only we are permitted to do that.

Noriega also urged Argentina's President Nestor Kirchner to stick to a $21 billion debt refinancing plan backed by the International Monetary Fund. Buenos Aires's financial standing has been battered by an economic implosion in December 2001 and massive $103 billion public debt default -- the largest default ever by a country.

See my last post and Greg Palast's explanation of the ruination of Argentina - just what Venezuela's Chavez aims to avoid.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
