Chavez is trying to get himself the Latin American seat on the UN Security Council. The US of course, wants Guatemala to get it. Read Wayne Madsen's Sept. 14 entry. Then, read this one about how 10 countries have just been banned from voting at the GA. Now, I'm no genius, and at least one of those countries (Georgia) is tight with this administration, but the rest of them seem like they'd aliqn with Chavez. And the reason for banning their votes, non-payment of UN fees, seems a little contrived at best. I mean, the US is WAY in arrears, like over $1 billion. So if anyone should be banned, the US should.

Seems like it could be the usual strong-arming and game-playing at the UN by the US.
