[Paal Gulli]

"...Our State Department has done nothing to help these countries institute rule of law and the execution of justice...."

You mean apart from spending billions of dollars on Honduran infrastructure improvements, and having kept a military presence there (primarily at Base aérea Soto Cano, which formerly was Ollie North's Palmerola) since 1983 to stop the spread of Nicaraguan communism at the border?

They had the opportunity but squandered it, which points to the truth of the old Paul Harvey axiom, "There is no self-government without self-discipline."

You are citing defense and ministry of interior projects. I am talking about bringing back the DIC, strengthening the courts and criminal justice system, encouraging a 2nd amendment-like change to the Honduran Constitution, bringing back the death penalty, and declaring gangs to be domestic terrorists.

Instead, we put sanctions on them when they followed their constitution (Zelaya). Nice try, but come correct. I went to school and worked in Honduras, and I have a family member that works directly for the Attorney General.
