...supporters, Obama should rely on the more dialogue-oriented foreign policy he promised in dealing with Chávez. (The President did say on the campaign trail last year that he would be willing to meet with Chávez.) "It was good for Obama to see the reaction in Latin America" to the Univision interview, says Chávez's former ambassador to the U.S., Bernardo Alvarez. "Maybe now he'll consider what he can learn from a face-to-face with Chávez. He'd see a man with differences, yes, but also someone looking...
When asked how his New Year celebrations have been, the pilgrim - a middle-aged businessman wearing a heavy winter coat against the bitter winds that knife through the monastery's narrow alleys - immediately glances up and then over his shoulder.

Washington will now watch to see if Chávez, who controls the western hemisphere's largest oil reserves, can retain his boisterous influence in the Americas - and survive politically...
...Sarkozy's just had a major strike, and he hopes this will keep a lot of people from demonstrating and improve his ratings," he says. "That is combined with the gut reaction of the French to protect, to be interventionist, to centralize. But more importantly, his talk about repatriation undermines the concept of the E.U.'s single market. And when it gets to this level, there is good reason to be afraid...
