A month ago, the Law Library of Congress reviewed the removal of Manuel
Zelaya from his post as President of Honduras, an act that the Obama
administration called a “coup” and demanded reversed for its
illegality. To the embarrassment of the White House and State
Department, the Congressional body determined that Honduras acted lawfully
in removing Zelaya for his crimes against their constitution, although
they determined that his exile broke Honduran law. Now John Kerry
wants the Law Library to retract its findings, apparently trying to rewrite history to hide the facts of the case
What has contributed most to the political crisis in Honduras? The
wrongheaded stance of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They have
suspended visas and aid to Honduras, weakening one of the few strong
alliances we have in Central America, just to interfere with what is
truly an internal matter in Tegulcigapa. The US has rejected the one
real solution to the problem, a national election that had already been
scheduled before Zelaya’s removal and one in which Zelaya’s own party
wants to participate.
