Comments on: One Government, one voice!!! http://devilsexcrement.com/2009/07/04/one-government-one-voice/ Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Nobody is going to test Honduran resolve. The drug indictment trumps everything and this is where USG needs to do some soul searching.

Central America and Honduras got very nasty in the 80′s. I’m not sure the CIA is totally absolved from William Casey’s deeds during that era. A lot of cocaine flew north and a lot of lives were lost as a result.

To think that USG would turn its back on the 80′s and drug smuggling today is not what the USA is about.

The double standards are infuriating and you can certainly feel that frustration we are all having in your post. Mrs. K accompanying Zelaya is the joke of the year – she’s trying to divert attention from her loss in last Sunday’s elections and the flu meltdown in Argentina, by choosing once again the wrong side, something that her country has repudiated! The OAS has become a circus led by the chief clown: Chavez…

Chavez is running out of money, so he will not be as popular around the region anymore. Just wait, the landscape will change in the coming months.

He will regret it for the rest of his presidency.

I don’t know how long the people in Venezuela will bear this situation. Chavez uses every subterfuge of the law to chip freedom and private enterprise. And those who oppose Chavez think that they can win by going to the polls. Keep on dreaming!!!

Instead of executing it they made the mistake (crime) of exiling him in hopes of avoiding bloodshed and loss of life (so they say). Like it or not, Zelaya is not coming back. Quit worrying about whether it was a coup.

I really think your comment is really vias.Yes Obama denounced the coup in Honduras, because like it or not it was a coup. ..by the way I am not chavista and was against the no binding referendum that Zelaya was trying to conduct a week ago. However he has been very quiet as everybody else in USA about this because face it, at this moment he has bigger problems to solve (i.e. bad economy and Irak and Afganistan wars).
To be honest I like this semi-silence…nobody can start screaming that USA is intervening in Honduras as Chavez is doing.

While it is still early to tell if Honduras is going to be the battle ground for the two economic political views that have emerged in LatAm. I am sure that they would not take this route without support from much larger countries who would rather see it resolved in a Client State like Honduras than at home along with the drug war going on!

Is it ok to protest the embargo on Cuba in the same time as Chavez imposes an embargo on Honduras? Should OAS insist on the reinstatement of Cuba to the OAS and exclusion of Honduras? Is there no “innocent until proven guilty” clause in the OAS or is it “do what Chavez says.” Don’t be surprised Insulza is on a payroll outside OAS. This whole couple of weeks has been a complete crock. I’ve have never seen so much feigned outrage amongst goverments in my life. And believe me, it’s feigned.
