[Peace-discuss] State Department Terminates Aid to Honduras Coup Regime

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Of course I am pleased that the US is terminating its "aid" to 
Honduras.  Honduras
should be glad too.  Amerika's jelly beans have fishhooks in them.

What business does the United States have interfering with the conduct 
of government in Honduras,
a sovereign state?

The American battle for independence from the bloody British was an 
illegal coup.
We have a military base in Honduras.
Why shouldn't they throw us out of there if they could?

How is our meddling with Honduras not an act of aggression against a 
weak sovereign nation?
How is it any different from what we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan?

It appears that the initiating spark in Honduras is an insistance on 
violation of term limits by the now-ousted President.
What is it that we like about that?

Is the US on the wrong side of the fight?  (once again?)
