12A loss would sting Venezuela's firebrand leader President Hugo Chavez,who recently used the UN General Assembly chamber as a platform to callUS President George W. Bush "the devil."In remarks Sunday Chavez described winning the non-permanent seat as thecenterpiece of his oil-rich nation's foreign policy, and accused Washingtonof "launching an all-out dirty war" in an attempt to block the bid.Bolton was seen cornering General Assembly members Monday as hesought to obtain much-needed votes for Guatemala. He also canceled aplanned meeting with Bush to lobby against Venezuela's inclusion in thecouncil.Earlier, he said he was prepared for a long fight."It's very clear that there is a candidate with a strong predominant vote," hesaid after Guatemala won the first four rounds of voting. But, he noted, ittook 31 days to get a winner in the 2000 US presidential race."This has just begun," he said.Venezuela's ambassador dug in, too."With the example of the Vietnamese people (during the US war) how couldwe give up in a day?" Arias Cardenas said. "With the example of theresistance of other peoples, the Korean people, how could we give up in aday?"Guatemala's Foreign Minister Gert Rosenthal meanwhile resented Caracas'scharacterization of his country as tied to the US."We are an independent voice, as independent as one can be in aninterdependent world," he said, noting that Guatemala has no troops in Iraqand maintains diplomatic ties with Cuba.Chavez, a thorn in the side of the Washington, has repeatedly said theUnited States wields too much power.
13Washington fears that Chavez, who in his recent address to the UN GeneralAssembly said the podium still "smelled of sulfur" after Bush had used it theday before, would be disruptive and oppose every US-led measure.Venezuela and Guatemala are vying for Argentina's seat on the 15-memberCouncil.But since neither's bid won unanimous support from the Latin American andCaribbean regional group, it falls to the 192 members of the GeneralAssembly to choose a winner by secret ballot.Nepal and Indonesia were in the same situation this year as they faced offover the seat being vacated by Japan, which ultimately went to Jakarta.The assembly also voted Belgium, Italy, and South Africa to take nonpermanentseats currently held by Denmark, Greece and Tanzania.The UN Security Council is made up of 15 members, including five vetowieldingpermanent members -- China, United States, France, Britain andRussia -- and 10 non-permanent members, five of which are replaced everyyear.The five non-permanent members that will serve until the end of 2007 areCongo, Ghana, Peru, Qatar and Slovakia.POLITICS NOT CITED, BUT ...CHRISTOPHER D.
