US losing clout in Latin America?

The U.S. has agreed to recognize the legitimacy of
Sunday's elections in Honduras although the American conditions for doing so were not met. This change in policy has angered many Honduran activists as well as other Latin Americans. Dina Gusovsky talks with Sergio Moncada of Hondurans for Democracy.

The U.S. is losing 'clout' everywhere because it has proven to be a lying, criminal entity. It sanctions the poisoning of its own citizens, for crying out loud.

it's kind of like america wnt' to start some kind of small race up rising to unleash martial law and the chip...

USA showed all its hypocrisy and cynicism in Honduras. Now they have the puppet democracy that they want, but the people from Honduras won't give up the fight.

no, I simply looked back, and found I was arguing over a moot point, it doesn't matter what you or I think, life goes on and Honduras is moving on. Sure there are neo socialists pissed because of Zelaya, but my only concern was the general well being on Hondurans and now they seem to be moving ahead. Now I turn my attention elsewhere.

Why do you change topic?

First you told that the coup was for protecting the law. But the ones who did the coup against democratically elected Zelaya violated the law and the constitution and also the Viena convention. So if you pretend to defend the law why do you defend outlaws?

You don't have any valuable argument to justify the coup and the repression against Hondurans who were killed because they supported their president. Now you try to escape behind numbers

I'm used to americans drinking kool-aid but I guess once in a while we all get our fix

[ozetabosio]

Hagamos Democracia (the firm hired by the TSE (HOnduran Electoral Tribunal) and the TSE's own made up numbers....we estimate the numbers to be much lower but hey, keep drinking the cool-aid...

[LeGioNoFZioN]

and your source for the 47% is ......

[ozetabosio]

read for yourself (to answer your appreciation BOTH):

ARTICULO 102.- Ningún hondureño podrá ser expatriado ni entregado por las autoridades a un Estado extranjero.

[ozetabosio]

this comment proves to me how gullible you are. Do you really believe that 61% figure? If you care to inform yourself better, you would see that the 61% is a made figure and now they have modified the numbers to 47%. And one more thing, Zelaya was not trying to change his presidential term, another fallacy that his opponents have used over and over. Again, not a single Honduran can prove to me he was going to modify the terms. Zelaya is guilty by association and that can't be an argument..
