Honduras Update
Why is the United States still meddling around with the Honduran transitional government? Just recently, the US revoked all visas from the transitional government personnel. That's a shame because everything the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court did was correct under their own laws; their actions were not a military coup. Read this editorial by the current Interim President of Honduras and you'll understand. Here's his quote describing the effect of President Obama's policy on the Honduran people: "We are, of course, disappointed with the position of the United States and the European Union, both longtime friends. We look forward to continuing dialogue with the United States, the European Union and the rest of the international community to prove our commitment to democracy and the Honduran people's love of freedom. Coercive action directed at our nation will only harm less fortunate Hondurans, whose hospitals, schools, roads and other institutions rely greatly on our friends' generous assistance, for which all of our citizens are immensely grateful."
