Honduras postpones accrediting US ambassador

International Herald Tribune

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras: Honduras postponed the accreditation of the U.S. ambassador on Friday, expressing solidarity with Bolivia's complaint that the top U.S. diplomat there incited violent protests.

President Manuel Zelaya said Honduras isn't breaking relations with the United States, but is supporting Venezuela and Bolivia.

Bolivia's leftist leader Evo Morales expelled the U.S. envoy Wednesday, setting off a regional diplomatic crisis.

Clashes over Bolivia's future have claimed eight lives and have prompted Latin American allies to demand that Washington stay out of their affairs.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez — a Morales ally — expelled the U.S. ambassador to Caracas on Thursday and withdrew its envoy to Washington.
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as \'international bankers.\' This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen, seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
John F. Hylan (1868-1936) - Former Mayor of New York City
