It’s beneath the President to respond to the insults of Hugo Chavez tit-for-tat, but I remain convinced that the White House should develop a strategic communications campaign to confront him and his increasing success in shifting the Non-Aligned Movement in a much more virulently anti-American direction. Today in NRO I argue that the President should talk about the fruits of Chavez’s policies in Venezuela: collapsing bridges, disappearing labor productivity, compromised judiciary and rule-of-law, intimidated dissent. In the Non-Aligned Movement it’s always the gulf between their rhetoric and the reality they foster that gets them in the end.
