US foreign policy is Organized Crime on steroids... |

General Smedley Butler was right.
The same time Obama's speaking about "human rights, freedom, democracy" and the like last night at West Point - The US is in the process of recognizing the coup regime in Honduras that overthrew Manuel Zelaya - democratically elected and militarily overthrown by the right-wing in Honduras.
Actions speak louder than words.

2. Yep, which is why we're targeted by terrorists in the first place... |

The best thing we could do to be safer is to stop acting like assholes on the world stage - but that wouldn't line the pockets of all those getting rich from faux wars.

7. For awhile, it looked like the Obama Administration was going to |
|
do the right thing.
Can anyone explain, in terms of the immediate circumstances, why they might be doing this?
