“Responsibility to Protect” is Warmed-Over Imperialism

30-07-2009 05:57 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

"Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) is the latest American device to justify military aggression and regime-change in the developing world. “The doctrine is a warmed-over version of so-called 'humanitarian' military intervention – another excuse for big powers to make war on weaker nations.” The doctrine is “reminiscent of the term 'protectorate' – a legalism for a country that is run as a virtual colony of one of the big powers.”

Zelaya Heads Home to Honduras on the Anniversary of Bolívar’s Birth

23-07-2009 20:05 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Workers' Movements | World

"Presuming that thousands of Hondureños and Hondureñas will flock to the border to accompany their President, a land crossing like this presents various dilemmas to the coup regime, which claims to have 18 criminal charges lined up to imprison Zelaya, but blinked from the opportunity to arrest him on July 5, when it blocked a runway to prevent his airplane from landing. To arrest him, the regime would have to violently break through a multitude of its country's own citizens. If it does arrest Zelaya, he will become an even more powerful symbol from prison inspiring greater resistance to the coup."

Honduras: Anti-Chavez ‘free speech’ warriors linked to coup

22-07-2009 12:07 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

"So why are these free speech crusaders so soft on the coup regime in Honduras?

Probably because IAPA representatives in Honduras have been central to the coup.

For instance, Roberto Micheletti, who was installed by the coup as de facto president, is the owner of various companies, including the newspaper La Tribuna.

One of his associates at the newspaper is Edgardo Dumas Rodriguez, a Honduran representative to the IAPA. "
