Correa, an ally of Venezuela's left-wing, anti-U.S. President Hugo Chavez, has made no secret of wanting to give the Manta base the boot since he became President last year. He views the facility - which the U.S. Air Force calls a Forward Operating Location (FOL) and not a full-fledged military base - as an affront to Ecuadorian sovereignty. Many if not most Ecuadorians agree, if only because of what they consider the questionable circumstances under which it was established in 1999. That year the U.S. failed to reach a deal with Panama on continued...
Fidel's armchair governing also appeals to an important overseas constituency - Chavistas, the loyalists of left-wing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who reveres Fidel for his socialist purity and anti-U.S. ferocity.

...North Korea has responded to Lee by getting personal. A recent editorial in the Rodong Sinmun, a North Korean newspaper, called him a "political charlatan" and "a pro-U.S. stooge," and warned of "catastrophic consequences" due to his new policies. "The North Koreans are asking how hard they have to slap Lee until they push him back on the Sunshine road," says Nicholas Eberstadt, a North Korea expert at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. Lee has shown no intention of changing his mind. Kim, Lee's national-strategy secretary, calmly dismisses the North...
