This is a big change. In the century since the U.S. became a world power, relations with other strong nations have dominated our foreign policy. (Even when we went to war in Korea and Vietnam or tried to overthrow regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua, it was mostly to prevent a superpower--the Soviet Union--from extending its reach.) As late as 2000, when Condoleezza Rice laid out Governor George W. Bush's foreign policy vision in an article in Foreign Affairs, she cited Russia 35 times and China...

When...
...petro-largesse to build a raft of global alliances, now exploiting the big screen to spread propaganda for his socialist revolution? Chavez critics in Washington, like Florida congressman Connie Mack, are blasting Glover for cutting "a sweetheart movie deal" with Chavez, whom they denounce as a protege of Cuba's communist comandante, Fidel Castro...
