I have contacts in Honduras who openly stated that overthrowing former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was exactly what they wanted.

Was ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya a cavalier for the poor? Reports are conflicting about which side really is the side to back. But if Zelaya really was a champion for the poor as suggested by the Washington Post then I’m willing to consider his politics. Still, he acted illegally within the framework of his [...]

KABUL (AP) — The U.S. military says two American troops have been killed and four others wounded after an explosion [...]

I’m certainly not pointing any fingers… just sharing some opinions published out of Las Tunas, Cuba… of all places. I’ve published many sentiments from American media. I thought it would be good to offer another voice from

That evening I caught I ride with Dennis to the pitch to [...]
