Doesn't Seem Very Christian

Pat Robertson suggested that if the US was planning on assassinating Venezuela's head of state Hugo Chavez, we should. Wait a tick, did he just say we should kill him? I'm no Bible expert, but...

He also goes on to say that Chavez would like to make Venezuela "a launching pad for Communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent" and that it's our responsibility to stop him because he is operating in "our sphere of influence." Amazing, he's able to draw references from the 1950's, current day, and the 1800's. I think the last time I heard the term, "sphere of influence" I was 15 and we were talking about the Boxer Rebellion in US History class. Who else in this world has spheres of influence right now anyways? Are the Spaniards making a come back?
