The Honduras thing

This has been a sorry chapter in the Obama administration foreign policy to date. For those not aware of what happened there, here's the simple explanation. Zeleya, recently deposed president, was facing a strict term limit, imposed by the Honduras constitution because of the tendency of leaders to impose reconstruction on civil order and place themselves in permanent roles (think Chavez). Zeleya attempted to run a "ballot initiative" that would violate the Constitution and the Honduras supreme court called him on it. He was arrested and expelled from the country. You'd expect the US to support the rule of law in a democracy; right? Well, not so much. Obama supported the views of Castro and Chavez and has used diplomatic resources to interfere with the internal activities of a freely elected and civil democracy. Shame. Too bad Obama doesn't feel as strongly about Iran. addam
