I wouldn't offer foreign aid at all, so I say yes. The US should fend for itself, since the government got it in this mess of lack of funds and oil in the first place.

Um... but Venezuela didn't cause Katrina.

It's the principle, like when Giuliani gave the check back to the Saudi Prince.

^ Damn, another one!

So we refuse aid for victims because of our pride?

God dang right our people are better off with us taking care of it. They can take their aid and shove it! What's wrong with pride, do you not have it?
It's one of the SEVEN DEADLY SINS...that's what's wrong with it...

way to inject religion into a purely secular subject but hay man seeing as your a liberal democrat how is it that religion is b.s. on your points and not on mine . . . double standards?

We didn't cause the Indonesian sunami, unless ofcourse you wear tin foil hats.

...right.

I was pointing out that refusing aid is hardly a matter of pride, as Venezuela didn't cause the hurricane.

OK I misunderstood I thought you were implying something, however the fact remains that we shouldn't allow Chavez to use his offer of aid as a catalyst for his propaganda machine which he is surely to do.
 
Uh huh. Who needs the tinfoil hat now?

I'm sry but I'm a supporter of free trade. If a country wants to give us some extra oil I'd be all for it. What do we have against Argentina anyways...oh yeah, they're communist. Like I give a **** what form of govt they have.:roll:

Oh, and I consider pride to be a great evil...on the same level as nationalism.

Zero, Chavez is the DEMOCRATICALY elected president of Venezuela...

The media and the rich in Venezuela hate Chavez, yet he still gets 60% of the vote in a fair, democratic election.


Yeah, what a pompous ass he is. Wow. We should refuse all help from him because we're number one. Woo, USA, we're the best. We don't need help!

Wait..what was the definition of irony again?

I know he was. Doesn't mean he's not a communist.
 
If his offer will help Americans we should take it. I wonder if he would trade oil for Pat Robertson? :mrgreen: I don't really care what the oil industry thinks of him.
