Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez begins an official three-leg visit to Iran, North Korea and Vietnam in late July.The best way to counter Washington's attempt to isolate, sanction, and make war on Iran is for nations allied with Iran to express their own intention to develop nuclear technology or, better yet, begin developing it already.
The Persian-language daily `Etemad' on Saturday quoted the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry as saying Chavez is expected to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his visit.
The two presidents, in their upcoming meeting, will discuss bilateral ties and cooperation particularly in the energy field.
Meanwhile, Iranian Ambassador to Caracas Ahmad Sobhani also said that Chavez, during his Tehran visit, will undoubtedly raise the issue of transfer of Iran's peaceful nuclear technology to its allies. ("Venezuelan President due in Iran in Late July," IRNA, 1 July 2006)

Venezuelan President due in Iran in Late July
Our man in Venezuela never disappoints. IRNA reports that he will arrive in Iran soon and talk with Ahmadinejad about not only energy cooperation but also "transfer of Iran's peaceful nuclear technology to its allies."

Great post as usual, Yoshie.
I couldn't agree more that we must support any political and diplomatic challenges that expose Uncle Sam's rank, naked hypocrisy.
And, considering how much Uncle Sam bankrolls a nuclear pariah like Apartheid Israel, its jaw-flapping directed at Venezuela and Iran does just that.
All Iran and Venezuela need to do, in order to fan Uncle Sam's bluster, is simply act normally.
Just as we must support Hamas, Hizbullah, and Syria as they confront the Apartheid colony currently attacking Gaza, we must stand in Solidarity with Iran and Venezuela as they unite to challenge the hegemony of Uncle Sam by any means necessary.
Great to see the Russo-Venezuelan ties, with the recent sale of Russian war planes to Caracas, IIRC.
Nuclear technology development doesn't necessarily entail nuclear weapons development. Nuclear power provides nearly 80% of France's electricity -- is France a horseman of apocalypse? The only concerns I have about Iran, Venezuela, etc. making use of nuclear technology is the same concern I have about any other country that has done so or may do so: health and environmental concerns.
