Chávez Hits Back at 'pawn of Imperialism' Blair
The Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez, yesterday described Tony Blair as "a pawn of imperialism", in response to the prime minister's comments in parliament on Wednesday that Mr Chávez's close relationship with Cuba is an affront to the international community.
Mr Chávez retaliated yesterday: "You, Mr Blair, do not have the morality to call on anyone to respect the rules of the international community. You are precisely the one of those who has disrespected international law the most ... siding with Mr Danger [George Bush] to trample the people in Iraq."
