Venezuelan gov't hopes for new era of peace and respect with Obama

Mérida, November 5, 2008 (venezuelanalysis.com)-- In a statement from the Foreign Relations Ministry on Wednesday, the Venezuelan government congratulated U.S. Senator Barack Obama for being elected president of his country, saying the historic moment could usher in a new era of friendlier relations between the two countries. The ministry also expressed optimism that Obama might heed South American initiatives toward greater democracy and begin chipping away at the U.S. policies of domination worldwide.

"The historic election of an afro-descendent to the head of the most powerful nation in the world is the symptom that the epochal change that South America has initiated could be knocking on the door of the United States," the ministry statement read.

"From all corners of the planet a clamor arises, demanding a change in international relations, and the construction... of a world of balance, peace, and human co-existence," the statement continued.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I look forward to our President working for World peace instead of causing chaos and torture around the world. I will be glad when Bush leaves it can't happen fast enough for me.
