There is no scenario we can envision in which Hugo Chavez would apologize for anything, no matter how over the top or no matter how wrong it may be. Chavez has staked his entire political career on lies and slander. So it comes as no surprise that Chavez has refused to apologize for disparaging remarks made in reference to Mexico’s President, Vincente Fox. Indeed, Chavez called Fox’s bluff and recalled his ambassador first. Fox has now responded in kind. There is no telling where this will go. Look for Chavez to dream of more wild fantasies, like supposed invasion plans by Mexico, miraculously discovered by Chavez himself.
