Chavez Calls Bush ’The Devil’ in UN Address, Predicts Fall of ’U.S. Empire’ and Calls For Major UN Reforms mercredi 25 octobre 2006
At the United Nations, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez slammed the United States for its military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as its support for Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. Chavez described President Bush as the ’devil’ and predicted the ’U.S. empire’ would fall. He also called for major reforms at the United Nations.

JUAN GONZALEZ : At the United Nations on Wednesday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez slammed U.S. foreign policy and described PresidentBush as the devil.
PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ : And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday, the devil came here. Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today.
JUAN GONZALEZ : Chavez was standing at thelectern where President Bush had delivered his speech the day before. The Venezuelan president went on to criticize U.S. foreign policies and renewed his calls for major reforms at the United Nations to reduce U.S. influence on the otherpermanent members of the Security Council. At thebeginning of his speech, Chavez held up a copy of the book Hegemony or Survival by MIT Professor Noam Chomsky, and he addressed the packed chamber.
PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ : As Chomsky says here clearly and in depth, the American empire is doing all it can to consolidate its hegemonic system of domination, and we cannot allow them to do that. We cannot allow world dictatorship to be consolidated. Theworld tyrant’s statement — cynical, hypocritical, full of this imperial hypocrisy, from theneed they have to control everything — they say they want to impose a democratic model, but that’s their democratic model. It’s the false democracy of elites, and I would say a very original democracy that’s imposed by weapons and bombs and firing weapons. What a strange democracy. Aristotle might not recognize it, or others who are at the root of democracy. What type of democracy do you impose
