1. I'm sorry, but Caldwell (the student in the article)
is naive to think that much has changed in Latin America vis-a-vis the military and the US. Nothing has changed. We keep a wary eye on our neighbors to the south, and I'd be willing to bet if we weren't so tied up in the Middle East, we'd be much more worried about the pink tide in LA.

2. Found this graph to be unfortunate

---------------------------

Elections officials reported that conservative candidate Porfirio Lobo

trumped the liberal party with 56 percent of the total vote. Some 61

percent of registered Honduran voters cast ballots in the election,

according to the country’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal.

-------------------------

The student should have included another graph describing the undeniable massive abstention, instead of accepting blindly what the TSE said.
