Hemispheric polarization by ALBERTO GARRIDO

While the polarization between US President George W. Bush and his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chávez has not burst yet, it has escalated. The block composed of Chávez, Cuban ruler Fidel Castro and Bolivian President Evo Morales resolved to bolster, by means of energy pressure, the revolutionary socialist triangle. Their space, so far, is the Americas, with no national exceptions. Polarization prompted by Cuba, Venezuelan and Bolivia considered as completed the stage of Inter-American institutional transition, because it is not in line with their strategic interests, the goal of which is the establishment of socialism in the hemisphere.
