...right military junta, and her speeches are peppered with terms dear to Chàvez & Co., like "social justice" and "popular sovereignty." But she also uses expressions from Washington's vocabulary, like "fiscal responsibility" and "capitalistic rationality." And unlike Latin American leaders who accuse the U.S. of evil imperialist designs, she welcomes Washington's leadership in global affairs. "America has more than enough maturity and intelligence to start exercising its world leadership responsibly," she tells Time. But Fernàndez adds that Washington needs to recognize that leaders like Chàvez, Lula and Morales are products of genuine democracy...
...Venezuelan officials, meanwhile, continued their long-standing campaign against "imperialist" media by claiming that the briefcase episode had been embellished to make Caracas look bad, and that "manipulation" by the media was behind the tuna can episode.

SDS isn't just focusing on the U.S. "The military industrial complex is huge, of course," says Marisa Holmes, a School of the Art Institute of Chicago chapter member...
...would be wrong to take this to mean that China has fallen into line and adopted Western positions on Africa. China would like to position itself as the mediator between an aggressive, imperialist West and a recalcitrant but misunderstood Sudan government. In the U.N. Security Council, Beijing secured the removal of phrases from the British-drafted resolution on Darfur, including the threat of sanctions if Sudan obstructed the U.N. deployment, and the condemnation of Khartoum for past violence against its own people...
