Hi! Having read the article regarding Hugo Chavez's speech at the U.N., he comes across as one of the few world leaders who dare to call a spade a spade. The truth remains that in today's world the U.S is a hegemony, and is aiming for even greater political and economic clout. It is helped in its endeavours by a large part of the world either complying with its policies or unwilling to take an opposing stand due to possible economic gains. The ill effects of the U.S.' hunger for control is already being seen in the ongoing "War Against Terror". It says it's promoting democracy across the world. Any form of democracy which is facilitated by the killing of thousands of people is questionable and loses credibility from the start. What's frightening is that it is allowed to do so with impudence. Even before the War Against Terror began, the number of people across the world affected by the U.S.' desire to impose its wishes on other countries is not funny. In Mr. Chavez's speech lies a lesson to the Indian govt as well which needs to rethink its foreign policies such that our sovereignity is left uncompromised. We need more people thinking like Chavez in the world.
