Is Chavez insane?

Well, if there was anydoubt at all, this should lay it to rest:

Visiting Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has denounced Israel’s recent attacks on Lebanon as “genocide,” likening its action to war crimes committed by Germany’s Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

“Israel often criticizes Hitler … but they have done the same thing, perhaps even worse,” Chavez told reporters Friday in a briefing during his six-day visit to China.

Let’s see … kill 6 million people on purpose, versus kill about a thousand because you’re trying to stop the people who are shooting rockets at you (while surrounded by civilians). Is there any comparison there at all, either in quantity or quality? Not to any sane, balanced, and reasonable individual.

Every time Chavez opens his mouth he shows himself to be a bigger and better buffoon than the last time. I seriously doubt the US really is trying to overthrow his quasi-dictatorship, but I almost hope they would, just to shut this utter moron up.
