Foreign Policy Expert Visits Chavez...
We're fortunate to have Sean Penn to point us in the right direction, no?
Sean Penn applauded President Hugo Chavez as the Venezuelan leader lambasted the Bush administration and demanded an end to war in Iraq.Chavez met privately with the 46-year-old actor for two hours Thursday, praising him as being "brave" for urging Americans to impeach President Bush.
"In the name of the peoples of the world, President Bush, withdraw the troops from Iraq. Enough already with so much genocide," Chavez said before an auditorium packed with his red-clad supporters.
Penn sat near the front, at times applauding and nodding in agreement. He is the latest in a series of celebrities who have visited Caracas, including Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte.
Chavez said he and Penn discussed the question of "why the (U.S.) empire attacks Chavez so much," saying Venezuela's oil wealth is a key reason.
He also said Washington is "afraid that the people of the United States will learn the real truth" about the situation in Venezuela, citing his social programs for the poor.
"If the people of the United States, those millions and millions of poor people ... if that nation realizes what is truly happening here, there would be a revolution in the United States," Chavez said, eliciting applause from Penn.

Ha Ha You believe in Muslim and communist boggy men, yet ignore blatant realities like global warming. And your gay!
Shame in you for being such a sheep and ignoring human rights
The hypocrisy/idiot meter is going though the roof.
To zolton
Congratulations on your masterful job in changing the subject.
So will Penn leave the US to go live in a socialist paradise like venezuela, north korea or cuba?
Not friggin' likely. he's the ultimate hypocrite.
It would be nice to see just one Hollywood hypocrite put their money where there mouth is - give up US citizenship and hand over their millions to cuba or north korea, both places have been socialist for decades so that's where it's perfected.
People move all the time, by the millions, but no one is in much hurry to leave the Western english speaking countries - despite all of our sexism/racism/homophobia/capitalism/etc.
So now that Spicoli is meeting with world leaders, are we to expect the head of the Council on Foreign Relations to appear on "Inside the Actors' Studio"?
By the way, Zolton, that's "you're" as in "you are", not "your".
Is that Zoltan Horvath?
