      Rice demands Latin America reform
      E intanto protegge i propri terroristi.
      Con quale faccia possa parlare chi per decenni ha supportato
dittature.
      US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has called for greater
      " intervention "
      by the Organisation of American States in promoting democracy in Latin
America.
      Opening an OAS summit in Florida, she highlighted concerns over
political crises in Bolivia, Ecuador and Haiti.
      Private groups and individuals should be able to raise concerns with
the OAS to help monitor democracy, she said.
      But Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States of
seeking to impose a "global dictatorship."
      "So, they're going to try to monitor the Venezuelan government through
the OAS, they must be joking!" he said, speaking in Caracas shortly before
the conference opened on Sunday.
      "If there is any government that should be monitored by the OAS, then
it should be the US government," he added.
      Purpose, not ideal
      Ministers from 34 Latin American and Caribbean nations are in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida to discuss the region's most pressing problems.
      "When you look at some of the fragile democracies that there are, it's
very clear that the institution needs to be better capable of dealing with
them," said Condoleezza Rice.
      There was also an appeal for the OAS to advance democracy where it was
absent - a reference to Communist Cuba.
      Cuba was suspended from the OAS in 1961, two years after President
Fidel Castro came to power.
      "We must never, never accept that democracy is merely an ideal to be
admired instead of a purpose to be realized," said the US secretary of
state.
      'Key moment'
      President George Bush will address the conference on Monday.
      He is expected to push a free trade agreement between the US, Central
America and the Dominican Republic, known as Cafta.
      Nearly all Latin American countries have moved from dictatorship to
democracy over the last three decades - but elected governments have still
been liable to fall or be overthrown.
      Ms Rice said she had confidence that the new OAS Secretary General
Jose Miguel Insulza, of Chile, could help bring about a change in fortunes
for the region.
      The US had originally backed Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto
Derbez for the job, but he lost out when the organization came to vote for
its new leader last month.
      Extradition dispute
      The rhetorical clash with Venezuela was expected, but she will further
rile President Chavez when she meets a fierce opponent of his government,
Maria Corina Machado, on Monday.
      The two countries are also expected to clash over the fate of the
terror suspect Luis Posada Carriles.
      Venezuela wants him extradited for alleged involvement in the bombing
of a Cuban plane in 1976, in which 73 people died.
      The US has so far only charged him with immigration offences.
      US government officials said prior to the meeting there would be no
attempt to provoke a dispute with Caracas at the OAS summit.
      Ms Rice met Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ali Rodriguez at a private
event prior to the official opening of the conference.
      Non so se vi rendete conto ma gli Yankees si sentono gia' l'impero,
pontificano all'Europa, agli arabi, alla Cina, alla Russia, ai Sud
Americani, all'India.
      Mettono embarghi a chi non gli sta simpatico, bombardano e occupano
paesi sovrani, si occupano di cause penali in Russia, si danno statuto di
impunibilita' per i crimini di guerra che commettono, decidono se una
notizia e' vera o meno a tavolino.
