Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, calling President Bush "the devil."   "The devil came here yesterday.  Yesterday the devil came here.  Right here.  And it smells of sulfur still today" Chavez said, referring to Bush's address Tuesday. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world."   He also said the U.N. "doesn't work" in its current system and is "antidemocratic." He called for reform, saying the U.S. government's "immoral veto" had allowed recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon to continue unabated for more than a month.

Hugo Chavez also spoke to the press after his U.N. address.  He announced that he wants to be a part of the "nuclear club".  This is really not what we need.

First lets talk a little bit about Hugo Chavez.  He was born on July 28, 1954.  He graduated from the Venezuelan Academy of Military Science in 1975 as a sub-lieutenant with a degree in Military Arts and Sciences.  He then pursued a graduate studies degree in political science but left the university without a degree.  In 1998, he began to campaign for the presidency of Venezuela.  He took office on February 2, 1999 and has been the President ever since.

The only reason Hugo Chavez was allowed to speak at the United Nations is because Venezuela is a member of the United Nations.  Venezuela has been a member of the United Nations since November 15, 1945.  Venezuela takes its seat under the name "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela."  The Venezuelan Ambassador is Francisco Javier Arias Cardenas and been Ambassador since May 1, 2006.

In all honesty here, Venezuela as a country would be nothing if it wasn't for its rich oil supplies.  Venezuela is one of the five founding members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

If Hugo Chavez wants to join the "nuclear club", we need to be extremely careful into allowing them to get started.  Before they get started, the U.N. needs to invoke sanctions on them to ensure the fact that they cannot produce nuclear weapons with their uranium.  Their supply of uranium needs to be heavily limited and safe-guarded so they will not use this uranium for nuclear weapons.
