I'm captivated by the goings-on in tiny, poor Honduras. As this article points out, much of the Honduran economy depends upon trade and good relations with the U.S. and the brave Hondurans are willing to risk all of this in the name of freedom. Their democratically-elected President, Manuel Zelaya, violated the Constitution, was lawfully arrested and thrown out of the country. He appeared to be planning to convert Honduras into a socialist country with supreme powers being vested in him, ala his mentor, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. The U.S. has chosen sides in this dispute, and stunningly, the Obama administration has taken a position against the Honduran people. I'm with the Hondurans. And, yes, I can find Honduras on a map.
