Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi called on Monday for a new global definition of terrorism.Meeting a day after the end of a summit of African and South American leaders in Venezuela, the two men signed a declaration urging a global conference be held to sketch out new terms defining terrorism.
Neither spoke publicly about the document, which rejects “attempts to link the legitimate struggle of the people for liberty and self-determination” with terrorism, according to a Venezuelan government website.

Of course, Gaddafi and Chávea, both of whom have been harbouring terrorists for years (FARC, ETA, etc.), want to exclude themselves from the list of terrorists… And without doubt, they are fighting for “liberty”. What they have to say is the liberty of whom they are defending.
Interestingly enough, they are not speaking about leaving power and building strong democracies. They continue with this crap about “bad capitalism/good socialism”.
