And he didn't even mention that the United States is the only country to have been found guilty of terrorism by the World Court (the charges were brought, justifiably, by Nicaragua):
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez...littered his speech to the UN world summit with anti-US comments which were strongly applauded....
Chavez told the UN General Assembly that the United States was "a country that does not respect the resolutions of this assembly."
To loud applause he took up the call of Latin American revolutionary Simon Bolivar for the UN headquarters to be moved to "an international city" in the southern hemisphere....
At a press conference after his speech, Chavez said that the United States was a "terrorist state" because of its actions in Iraq, Robertson's assassination call and for harboring Luis Posada Carriles, who is wanted for the bombing of a Cuban airliner.
"It is a terrorist state. It is a government that violates all rules and behaves shamelessly," he said.
"The United States is the champion of double standards. The United States' government defends terrorism. They talk of the fight against the terrorism, but they commit terrorism, state terrorism," said Chavez.
