TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran awarded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez its highest state medal on Sunday for supporting Tehran in its nuclear standoff with the international community, while Chavez urged the world to rise up and defeat the U.S., state-run media in both countries reported.
The leftist Venezuelan leader also condemned Israel for what he called the "terrorism" and "madness" of its attacks in Lebanon, Venezuelan state television reported.
"Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire," Chavez said. "This (task) must be assumed with strength by the majority of the peoples of the world."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad presented Chavez with the Islamic Republic Medal in a ceremony at Tehran University. The award was to show Iran's gratitude for his "support for Iran's stance on the international scene, especially its opposition to a resolution by the International Atomic Energy Agency," Iranian state-run television said.

I guess I'm a putz. I though Hugo Chavez was a South American jazz musician.
When are we looking at extinction? 2007? I guess I better get prepared to live in a totalitarian society right? Better hide my guns. No dictator in his right mind would let me keep my guns.

Highest Iranian honor....
I think a crackerjack prize carries more international clout than that. That's like being proud because Andrea Yates said she liked you once....
