U.S. Honduran policy misguided

The Obama administration continues to coddle its adversaries while stiff-arming its friends. After Hilary Clinton met with deposed Honduran president Manual Zelaya the U.S. has announced it will suspend all non-humanitarian aid to Honduras.

The administration got it wrong with its initial response to the Honduras crisis and instead of realizing its error continues to make missteps in its policies towards our Central American friend. If the U.S. does not want to help Honduras then fine, do nothing at all, but to continue with its misguided policy of decrying Honduras for following its constitutional rule of law is obtuse. First the vocal support for Zelaya, then the visa business and now this halting of aid.

Express support for the constitutional government of Honduras by contacting the Embassy of Honduras in the United States.

Its address is 3007 Tilden St. NW, #4M, Washington, DC 20008-3008. You can contact it at: (202) 966-7702 (telephone), (202) 966-9751 (fax), and embajadadehondurasdc@yahoo.com (email).
