Venezuela's Chavez to buy Chinese K-8 planes

Venezuela's Chavez to buy Chinese K-8 planes - Yahoo! News

More U.S. petrodollars going to supply dictators and tyrants with military supplies. Do you feel safer?

Let me get this straight...we're spending $3 trillion to defend ourselves against guys in caves. And that threat is so scary, so threatening to our country, that it is worth the additional consequences of a further dependence on an energy source in which we are not rich, paying 5x higher for that source, and having that money fund dictators and despots whose political ideologies we disdain. Is that right? Have I summed it up?
