DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Venezuela's firebrand President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday that he and Syria will "build a new world" free of U.S. domination, vowing eventually to "dig the grave of U.S. imperialism."

"No matter how strong the American empire becomes and no matter how much force it uses, it will be defeated," Chavez said. "We and Syria as well as other countries will be an army of tigers, struggling and strong."

Chavez said Wednesday he and Syria shared a "decisive and firm" stance against American hegemony.

"The cause of the violence unleashed across the planet... is U.S. imperialism," said Chavez, whose speech was relayed by phone to state TV in Venezuela. "That is the fundamental cause of the most serious problems -- (U.S.) imperialism and its allies, its ramifications, its arms, its political mechanisms."

"Against all that we must fight everywhere," Chavez said. "It must be said to the peoples of the world, and it must be said to imperialism itself that in this 21st century I will dig the grave of U.S. imperialism."
