I do not believe that Bush administration wanted something like that as the outcome of its "war on terror": HAVANA (Reuters) - Iran and Venezuela looked to cement an anti-U.S. alliance at the summit of Non-Aligned nations on Saturday in the face of resistance from countries that have backed Washington since the September 11 attacks. More than 40 heads of state and government and leaders from countries including North Korea were set to agree to a document supporting Iran's right to nuclear technology and another sharply critical of Israel's recent war in Lebanon. The summit brings together some states impatient with what they see as a U.S.-dominated United Nations and eager to strengthen the Non-Aligned Movement, or NAM, as an alternative. today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-09-16T053859Z_01_N14252483_RTRUKOC_0_US-NONALIGNED.xml&WTmodLoc=NewsHome-C1-topNews-5

Cuba, under a U.S. embargo since 1961, is hosting leaders from Iran and North Korea, charter members of President George W. Bush's "axis of evil", as well as the presidents of Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Belarus and other foes of America.
But alongside heads of states in Washington's rogues gallery gathered in Havana are leaders of long-standing U.S. treaty allies such as Thailand and the Philippines and countries such as Pakistan and Indonesia that have built close ties to the United States since September 11, 2001.

This is not a nice developement. It looks like the organisation of third ("Independant") countries, during the cold war period, who were not affiliated with the West or East. Back then you had the stabile leadership of Tito from Yugoslavia.
Now you have an instabile Cuba, with a sick Castro, that lunatic of a Chavez from Venezuela, and all creapy countries of the world gathered.

Pieter,
the policy of the US helped to unify these people. In the past they were pro-Soviet and they were helped by another empire (SU), now they are more or less on their own.

Jaga, Yes, that is true, as a European I do not always agree with American foreign and internal policies, but I surely prefer them above the policies or ideas of these creaps, Chavez, Kim, Robert Mugabe and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. You Americans can democratically change you government, most of the people of those countries who attended the meeting in Havana, can't choose their own government. Pieter

Interesting that Chavez could ridicule Bush but in his country his people can not say the same about him without getting in trouble.
