Is critisism of an opressive emperor and world dictator a privilige of US citizens alone?

"You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president," U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., told a news conference after Chavez' remarks about Bush were delivered.

"If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not," he said.
Joining in was House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, who called Chavez an "everyday thug."

"Huge Chavez abused the privilege that he had, speaking at the United Nations," Pelosi said in a Reuters report. "He demeaned himself and he demeaned Venezuela."
"I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president, do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State," Rangel said.
