There was a time, as many may remember, when for Yankee propaganda the personification of evil was represented by a German named Adolf Hitler, and in recent times that role has been assigned to political leaders such as Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia and Saddam Hussein of Iraq. At present, little by little, although on a smaller scale they are trying to do the same with our president Hugo Chavez. This is a technique that can be characterized as that of "St. George and the Dragon," in which the role of St. George corresponds to Yankee imperialism. It is the Anglo-Saxon mentality that needs to see in every adversary a bandit.
