Honduras stands strong. In the face of the European Union suspending nearly $100 million in aid to the country, in the face of United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton threatening more punishment if the criminal socialist Mel Zelaya was not installed as president, the interim government and the people of Honduras have resisted the wave of anti-democratic socialism that is sweeping Latin America. Americans are proud of you, Hondurans.

The talks taking place in San Jose, Costa Rica, between Zelaya and the Honduran government have been postponed. The main problem is the absurd demand that Zelaya be reinstated. He is a traitor who will be arrested on sight, how can he be president behind bars? As usual, the administration is on the wrong side of history. This cannot last… soon the people of the world will urge their governments to side with the Honduran people and not with the Chavez Axis of Latin America.

Already, the president of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe, has expressed sympathy for the interim government, probably because of his own experience with the Chavez-backed FARC guerrillas and the drug war. If you recall, Zelaya has been implicated in drug trafficking.

The MSM keeps referring to the execution of a court order to remove Zelaya for treason as a “coup”

The lesson here is clear: freedom is not something won cheaply. Iranians are learning this. Every round of sanctions on Honduras is only strengthening the people’s resolve. Let us hope that the governments of the world come to their senses before they do irreparable harm to this democracy-loving nation.
