Aug. 1: Actor Sean Penn smiles during his visit to the Venezuelan Villa del Cine Studios in Caracas.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has praised Sean Penn for his critical stance against the war in Iraq, saying the two chatted by phone and soon plan to meet in person.
Chavez said Penn traveled to Venezuela this week wanting to learn more about the situation in the country and walked around some of Caracas' poor barrios on his own.
"Welcome to Venezuela, Mr. Penn. What drives him is consciousness, the search for new paths," Chavez said Wednesday in a televised speech. "He's one of the greatest opponents of the Iraq invasion."
Chavez read aloud from a recent open letter by Penn to President Bush in which the actor condemned the Iraq war and called for Bush to be impeached, saying the president along with Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are "villainously and criminally obscene people."
The socialist president, who shares those views, said he and Penn talked by phone — "with my bad English but we understood each other more or less."

Don't care much for Chavez and his imperlistic, dictatorship rule over his people where it's citizens rights are continually being eroded. Oh did I say Chavez, by bad I meant President Bush. I do like how he stands up to Bush though.

Yeah DC give this a watch for about 10 mins. It's a lot in Spanish but you'll get the idea and understand a lot more afterwards as to why things are the way they are.

I would rather be friends with Hugo Chavez like Sean Penn than be chums with The Saudi Royal Family and the ISI like the Bush family.
Not to mention some old Pals like Saddam and the Shah....and possibly Nazi's
