The Honduran Re-Run

Jamie Kirchick, Rick Richman, and J.G. Thayer have offered persuasive comments on the Honduran crisis, which is rapidly turning into a kind of political Rorschach test. If you are the Christian Science Monitor, you sigh that “The fact a military coup occurred apparently against U.S. wishes suggests how American dominance in the region has waned,” a verdict that nicely condemns Zelaya’s ouster as a coup, insinuates that the U.S. may secretly have been involved in it, and uses the occasion to applaud the decline and fall of the American Empire. If, like the Obama Administration, you want to “engage” America’s enemies into placidity, Honduras offers an opportunity to stand alongside Hugo Chavez and the Castros in defense of what is implausibly called democracy.

That is an excellent analysis, and a fine analysis of the analyzers.

“”When elected dictatorship impends a “coup” in defense of constitutional order, it is no coup: it is an expression of the right of self-government, for it is the government itself that has become illegitimate. Americans, above all others, should understand this.””

Obama not understand because he not American, he from someplace else. He want to be sec gen of UN someday, is very abmitious and young, and the USA is only other platform to step on to go higher. Ruin country make global coalition easier for him, Soros has him as little boy on knee.
