An opponent of the ousted Honduran President has won the race to become the next leader. But human rights activist Sergio Moncada says the elections are not recognized by most Latin America countries.
Right you are Sarah










The fact Obama administration does not represent change but a continuation of American imperialism in Latin America became very clear in April during a meeting of the leaders of the Americas in the island of Trinidad and Tobeygo. During this meeting , the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, presented a copy of Eduardo Galeano’s 1974 epic historical book which tells the story of 500 years of U.S/European exploitation of Latin America. I am not sure whether Obama had accepted Galeano’s Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent. However, it was no accident that even Obama spoke warming U.S/Latin American relations in that meeting,, mercenaries from Europe and Columbia paramilitary agents were arrested in Ecuador! It is truly pity that exploitation and military interventions seem to be the preferred U.S foreign policy in dealing with the Latin America. Implications of Honduras's fake election depends on what the free leaders of Latin America do. If they reject this fake election, it will fail. But if they fail to take strong stance, Venezuela will be next. In fact Venezuela is the real target for U.S regime change in Latin America.
