Roger Noriega comments on how the crisis in Honduras has affected the United States' role in Latin America.

The Obama administration's troubling moves in the last two weeks do little to bolster democracy in Latin America.

Individual nations must be counseled to cease their threats against Honduras and to stop meddling in its internal affairs.

Manuel Zelaya brushed aside every other institution of the state in insisting on a referendum that would benefit his selfish interests.

No sorprende que cuando Zelaya intentó hacer trizas la constitución de Honduras a fin de tener la vía libre para buscar una reelección a un segundo mandato, se negaran a acompañar esa torpe ambición de poder.

Officials in Chávez's inner circle are wondering how their cash-strapped government can finance yet another "revolutionary" government in Central America. What they fail to realize is that Chávez's backup plan is to sow chaos in Honduras so it is hospitable territory for his partners in the illegal drug trade and a headache for the United States and Mexico.

Crackdowns on violent cartels in Mexico and Colombia have pushed the powerful narcotrafficking gangsters into Central America. Join us as we discuss the threat and ideas for international collaboration to provide the necessary material, political, and law enforcement support for the region.

The Obama administration's reaction to Honduras' attempt to stand athwart this antidemocratic tide in Latin America has been shocking and inexplicable.
