His assessment may be correct, but the real question is what in the hell is wrong with Oscar Arias?
How can the President of one of Latin America’s most egalitarian and “enlightened” countries so blithely ignore the facts of the situation, that Honduran officials, from the Supreme Court, to the Congress, to the military scrupulously followed their constitution and laws in removing Zelaya? How can Arias so brazenly refuse to acknowledge that it was Zelaya who was violating Honduras’ laws and constitution?
We would expect this sort of twisted spin from leftist thugs like Chavez or Lula, but the President of Costa Rica?! If any nation or its leader in Latin America should cherish freedom and the rule of law it should have been Costa Rica.
I have no answer for your question.
I did read an opinion page statement in a Central American newspaper today entitled:
Honduras, “Waterloo of the OAS?
by Asdrubal Aguiar
It was in Spanish, but translated well with Google translator.
I have requested permission to post the translation here. Waiting to see if that is OK. Probably should have simply done it, but did not.
