You´re reducing Chavez´ leadership in Venezuela to "shaking hands". Shame on you.
Yeah, let´s forget everything going on right now in Venezuela and focus on whom he shakes hands with.
Yes, shaking hands "does nothing to alter the conditions under which Venezuelans live". But YOU framed the debate under those terms. I refuse to discuss Chavez policies under your biased framing.
