President Hugo Chavez Frias continues to attack the war on Iraq, warning that the world is returning to jungle law by breaking the international order and bypassing the United Nations (UN) to attack and invade other countries. 

Speaking at the commencement of "Businessmen for Venezuela" assembly in Caracas, Chavez Frias has questioned the right of the Anglo-American forces to bomb the cities of Iraq.  "We want peace and the UN to intervene!" 

The President told his audience that he agrees with Brazilian President Lula da Silva's comment that no country and in this case, the USA has the power to define what is good and what is bad in the world. 

Turning to the domestic scene, Chavez Frias tackled opponents who he says seem delighted with the idea of the USA attacking Venezuela for a regime change. 

"How far are people ready to go? How is it possible that political leaders have gone so far as to say that they would prefer a General of an invasion force to Chavez Frias as President? Are they that crazy?"
