U.N. setting for latest round in Venezuela-U.S. grudge match

In yet another tiff between Venezuela and the U.S., Venezuela wants to fill a rotating seat on the U.N. Security Council that will be vacated next year. The Bush administration said that they would support Guatemala to fill the vacancy instead of Venezuela who U.S. officials worry would be too lenient in condemning Iran. Venezuela sees getting a Security Council seat as a prime way to help impoverished countries.
