Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion: Hands Off Honduras
Bill
Jacobson's post on Obama's continuing bullying of Honduras contains an
excerpt from an interview with a Justice of the Honduran Supreme Court.
Click on the link above to read that excerpt.
Meanwhile, here is another excerpt:
While Obama improves relations with Venezuela, Obama has cut military ties to Honduras, is considering a cut-off of all aid, is doing nothing to stop loan suspensions by international organizations over which the U.S. has substantial influence, and is supporting international efforts to isolate Honduras.
Poor
and tiny Honduras faces the full wrath of the United States, United
Nations, and much of the rest of the world, while nothing is done about
Iran. On Iran, Obama and the world acted with the utmost deference, and there were no efforts by the Obama administration at international action. None.
But
Honduras, enforcing its own laws against a renegade wannabe
President-for-life, for some reason warrants the full force of the
United States government and international community. Honduras gets
condemnation from Obama, while Chavez gets hugs and Ahmadinejad gets deference. Wonderful. No, horrible.
