And we're trying to make friends in Venezuela, in our sorrow for our past policies in Latin America.
As I've confessed before, I must lack the nuance gene, since this news is incomprehensible to me given our outreach:
Venezuela's ambassador to Iran, David Velasquez, said following the meeting that Ahmadinejad's visit will deepen ties between the countries and "allow us to move ahead in the transfer of technology and industry," according to Venezuela's state-run Bolivarian News Agency.
Latin America's leftist leaders have in recent years strengthened relations with countries including China and Iran — inroads that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday termed "quite disturbing."
"They are building very strong economic and political connections with a lot of these leaders. I don't think that's in our interest," Clinton said.
It is good to try to make Iran and Venezuela our new friends but our new friends can't be friends with each other?
Either Secretary of Clinton makes no sense or our individual policies toward each make no sense.
