"Dictator"??? What an ugly smear.
From the CIA Factbook (surely a somewhat reliable source):

Er...yes. Chavez was democratically elected. Sure, he's no fan of untrammelled capitalism and therefore the US but that's his democratic mandate; poor people of the sort who voted for him tend not to be fans of capitalism either, funnily enough.
So let's drop the 'dictator', eh? -
I believe that Hitler and Stalin were "democratically" elected, as well. By "overwhelming" majorities.

No they weren't.

We here in America love domcratically elected leaders in other countries as long as they tow our line Matt. If they don't we call them dictators and arrange to have them killed and have our own "dictator" installed in his place.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense (well, on one level at least).

Hitler was elected, but he did not stay within the bounds of his elected office.

Ok, but he was elected to be the head of the Nazi party.
Looks like Stalin had to have a revolution to get into power. -

"So if the will of the electorate is to eliminate a whole race of people, should we let them ?"
??? if the race of people is within their national border we should start a war or only if they have oil resources?
We should kill anyone who doesn't like us or who theoretically has the resources to become a military power or can beat us economically? -
