President Obama has been diligently doing whatever he can do to stay out of the fracas that erupted in Iran after their elections, and he took this stand because of the history of American interference. The Iranian chokeholders were shooting down protesters in the streets, which our president was pleased to call a “debate.” Perhaps at times it rose to the level of a robust debate.
But then, a small donnybrook broke out in Honduras, and the duly elected president (who was laboring mightily to make himself president-for-life) was grabbed where the pants hang loose and marched by their military to a nearby plane. President Obama denounced that little business on the same day it happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, students of logic, there is only one possible conclusion, and that is that the president believes that there has not been a history of American intervention in Central America. I search in vain for any other explanation.
