Why does the United States dislike Hugo Chavez?

Chavez is working his way toward becoming a dictator and it is laughable to say he has a pion for social justice. He has a pion for socialism, which is quite different from social justice. He admires Castro, who, for fifty years ran a tyrannical dictatorship that flew in the face of human rights and social justice. And he made an *** out of himself at the UN, insulting our president in a manner far beneath the dignity of any world leader.
