Obama's New Moves On Honduras Will Effect Louisiana

I don't know what they are thinking. I actually thought that administration was moving away from this insanity. See via Instapundit:


OBAMA SUSPENDS HONDURAS VISA SERVICE. “Never let it be said that the Obama administration took a defeat graciously. When the Honduran Supreme Court rejected the deal that Costa Rica offered, called the San Jose Accord, that would have reinstated Manuel Zelaya as president, the Obama administration had a choice: allow Honduras to make its own decisions and accept them, or try to pressure Hondurans to bend to American will. Guess which path they chose? The White House firmly believes in negotiation rather than law enforcement so much that they will suspend visa services with an American ally in order to enforce a policy cheered by Cuba and Venezuela. That makes as much sense as getting involved in the dispute in the first place.” Humility is for when you’re dealing with Iranians.

Louisiana has a lot of Honduran links in trade and especially via LSU. I am sure this going down well in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It is usually hard to be boneheaded on a foreign polcicy move and hurt one of your own states at the same time but it appears that is happening
