I have a split opinion on him

I guess this is mainly because we live in times in which it is damn fucking hard to get unbiased accounts of what the fuck is going on.

I admire some of his social projects on the field of education and helping the poor.

I hate his company of Putin, Achmedinijad and Castro

I hate his conspiracy bullshit about "america causing the haiti earthquake"

I found it absolutly disgusting that the Bush administration tried to dispose him although he was democraticly elected

I hate the reports about journalists and oposition figures disapearing and being beaten.

I hated his antisemitism

All in all, I think that "good deeds" cannot outway "bad deeds" and despite his social reforms, I will always point to the human rights violations and call them out.
One never sees an american telling a native american "Yeah we massacred you - but we gave you democracy
A brit to an Indian "Yeah we massacred you in your millions but gave you a unifying language"
Communist to the russians "yeah we murdered millions but made russia a world power"
