They should not need the mediation of a foreigner, much less am ambassador. Assuming of course that the reports are indeed correct. Ahh well...ignoring the role that the US Ambassador has had in the past, and will likely continue to have, in Honduran politics seems a bit naive...<br /><br />Tambopaxi:As Marco Caceres wrote, indeed who knows what is lurking in the background. Part of my rant has quite a bit to do with doing things openly and on our own. I quite agree with you that an unwanted intervention should not be tolerated anymore.Honduras Policieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191336751561097382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395668864698233459.post-17754048426080834942010-03-07T21:08:35.150-05:002010-03-07T21:08:35.150-05:00Under ordinary circumstances (and assuming the bas...Under ordinary circumstances (and assuming the basic story is true, that Amb. Llorens actually pressed for removal of CCEPL personnel), this would be grounds for asking the Ambassador to leave the country. <br /><br />President Lobo would be right to be angry and in PNGing the Ambassador, but it may be that he's holding off, (again, assuming the news stories are correct) given U.S. support for recognition of the Lobo government by other countries.Tambopaxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978665666431987347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395668864698233459.post-15875482531754929202010-03-05T15:22:31.093-05:002010-03-05T15:22:31.093-05:00I hope our new Ambassador to the US meets with the...I hope our new Ambassador to the US meets with the DNC to undermine Obama´s plans for the next elections.

See Moreof the deep divisions that exist between anti- and pro-Zelayistas. Without a united Liberal Party, Honduras essentially starts to transform into a country with one major party, which obviously reduces its credibility as a democracy. Unless there is true reconciliation within the Liberal Party, it is entirely possible that the party will not win another presidential election for decades. Like it or not, Mr. Zelaya remains a factor in Honduran politics.

To add to that, apparently tonight Hillary Clinton is making demands on Honduras, like saying that they have to increase taxes on the rich!<br /><br />Okay, I really agree with this, or at least think they need to go after the tax evaders, but DAMN!
