Honduras in U.S. Foreign Policy
by jan z. volens
The attidute of U.S. "foreign policy deciders" re: Honduras ? On Sept. 26, Brazil's O ESTADO DE SAO PAULO -a rightwing, pro-business daily, has a frontpage report titled: "Honduras leva bate boca entre Brasil e EUA" (Honduras causes quarrel between Brazil and the USA). The Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim asked U.S. United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice to present a resolution to the U.N. Security Council: "The United Nations Security Council calls upon the de facto government of Honduras to cease harassing the Brazilian Embassy". --But Susan Rice apparently attempted to derail this request - by acting out her well-publizised manners (read her biography !) But the Brazilian Foreing Minister responded very firmly and Susan Rice had no alternative but to recite the Brazilian request in the Security Council.
