Another test, and he better no blow it!

Posted by Webmaster in Politics , History , Current Events

The recent coup in Honduras had been brewing for quite a while. As President Manuel Zelaya approached the end of his term, he sought a public referendum to amend the constitution to allow multiple terms and pave the way for even more socialist reforms in the country. The problem was that Zelaya - a big fan of that rude, chubby little bastard Chavez - dismissed a ruling from his own supreme court that declared such referenda illegal under the Honduran constitution. Bingo, presto - you're outta there! Military coups in Central America are nothing new - hell, Chiquita Banana's parent company United Fruit orchestrated a CIA-backed coup in Guatemala back in 1954 - so why should we care?

Honduras is a poor nation that is stuck in the third-world rut. In its favor are some of the best cigars, coffee, scuba diving and beaches anywhere - along with some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet.  Hoping to even the huge economic divide between classes, they foolishly elected a socialist president in 2006 who (like Chavez), wanted to become a dictator for life by changing the constitution for his own benefit. Sound familiar?

The military did what I hope our own military would do someday if this country reaches the point of putting one man above our laws and Constitution - they marched in, arrested the guy, and then handed power back over to the congress. This is not your father's Latin American coup by any stretch - if anything, it's a prime example of how a military should act in a democracy when despots seek to abridge the law.

Chavez has threatened military action to restore Zelaya to his burgeoning throne, and since he's spent billions buying Russian arms the last few years, it probably wouldn't take long for Venezuela to beat the snot out of the Honduran military. That of course would set a really bad precedent and do away with what's left of the Monroe Doctrine should Obama fail to act. The Monroe Doctrine was invoked to keep European powers out of our back yard - powers precisely like Russia who through proxy would have a foothold in the one country in which I'm seriously considering retiring!
