Honduras Elections

Based on a New York Times op ed, I got some ideas to give perspective on Honduras.

The upcoming elections have been denounced by many nations and said that it will not change their stance on Honduras (which is to return Zelaya to power, which would have him in office longer than he is allowed by the Constitution of Honduras).

If the leaders of Burma said they were going to hold free and fair elections, would we say no simply because they are currently run by a dictatorship?

Let the elections be the voice of the people and respect that voice as you would any other when allowed freely.

Update: I had lost the article in my travels, but I found it again. It was from the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704471504574439090743723958.html

Summary of Thoughts

Iran has a nuclear facility that has been kept secret not only by our government but Iran as well. The United Nations IAEA misses it completely. Unless Iran opens up completely by the end of the year, we will be at war by January, if not sooner.

The Post Office is going to need a bailout. They lost four billion dollars in September.

Earlier in August the Federal Reserve requested that the debt limit be raised, again.

Summary: I told you so.

Corruption

Corruption can never be eliminated. However, it can be controlled and brought within the reach of punishment. This is a realization which recognizes the ever persistent fact that humans have emotions. The system which best recognizes that greed is inherent in human behavior will be the system which is best in the world. Capitalism is one of those systems.
