-The “World's Bravest Country”?
Big statement, right? I had it as a subject in my last mailing and had a few of you asked about it. I pretty much let the line “hang” in that it was the way I felt but things still seemed a bit up in the air, it was such a big statement. The fact is, I do believe it. Think about it. You have this little country in Central America that decided it did not like it¹s President trying to change the Constitution of this country (like the people allowed in Ecuador and Venezuela) to a far left country where soon after they Nationalized the businesses, the government took over the radio and TV stations and now they have a situation where the leaders there are “President for life”.
When a government takes over the major industries of the country the writing is on the wall. When the teachers have a grip on the far left and not only are out demonstrating when they should be teaching, (not to mention they can get away with telling the children in the schools anything they wish), it is all down hill from there. When the rest of the western hemisphere seems to be making a sharp left, Honduras said “Hold on a minute. Not here, not in this country”.
Honduras stood up to the deposed President Mel Zelaya, stood up to the European Union, stood up to the Organization of American States, stood up to Chavez who threatened to attack, (with the interim President here saying “I am not afraid of you”), and last but certainly not least, stood up to the United States, to President Obama, to Hilary Clinton.
Wow, if that is not BRAVE I’m not sure what is. They had their aid and commerce cut off and the businessmen in the country got together and now contribute millions a week to keep things going because of the financial hits the economy took. The world is gradually changing it¹s mind, the U.S will either reverse it¹s position, (the way politicians do, without admitting being wrong), or they will ultimately loose a long time friend and ally. Honduras does not need them; the U.S just thinks they do. This place is surely the “Lighthouse of Democracy” in the World right now. Could there be any other place south of the border that you should be considering?
No one should fear coming here for political reasons for sure. Heck they had the Miss Honduras contest in La Ceiba two weeks ago. No riots, no demonstrations, no civil unrest. They will have elections in November, there will be a new President, just as the Constitution says they should.
