Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently attacked the US in a speech at the UN: he blasted US foreign policy; accused the Bush administration of trying to hijack the UN summit; and described them as a terrorist nation for harbouring the televangelist Pat Robertson, who recently called for Chavez's assassination. He also accuses the US of being behind a failed 2002 coup against him. Despite this, he wants to help the poor of the US. Interview by Amy Goodman
