Several letters running something like this:

I would lend financial support if someone organized an extra-governmental foreign-aid fund for Honduras. I know it’s illegal for private citizens to interfere in foreign policy, but we can certainly send humanitarian aid earmarked (sorry for using that word) for those Hondurans most in need. It may even be that more of that aid reaches the right people if it is extra-governmental.

Funny about our new president. He seems to reserve his harshest words, and biggest stick, for two little, struggling democracies: Honduras and Israel. (Obviously, Israel faces greater challenges than Honduras, no matter what shape the Central American country is in.) Would that he were a fraction as tough on bad regimes — Iran’s, North Korea’s, Sudan’s, Venezuela’s, Cuba’s, Syria’s — as he is on those little democracies Israel and Honduras. Funny, this president.

By the way, he called Chávez “mi amigo” — his friend. Would he call Micheletti that? Even Uribe? He yukked it up with Daniel Ortega (over the Bay of Pigs). Would he yuk it up with Micheletti?

Curious, our new American president.

P.S. He doesn’t accept the legitimacy of Honduras’s government. Does he accept the legitimacy of Cuba’s?
