[Peace-discuss] Will the National Democratic Institute Support the Coup in Honduras?

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Just Foreign Policy:

"Just" let them be.

Mind your own business, Amerika.

Yankee Go Home....

The Chinese say:  "Mei di guo zhuyi -- Gun Hui Jia"  (Amerikan 
Imperialism -- "Go Home" )

Gun hui jia is a impolite invitation to depart, the verbal equivalent of 
peppering a dog's arse with buckshot.

We don't have any business messing with Honduras.  We don't even have 
our own house in order.

"It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America to come 
back home. Come home America."
