Reply #33: I just was put off by

the assumption that my husband was Contra...when Contras were Nicaraguan...quite frankly the Honduran military was fed up with the whole mess and now are being demonized for defending their country from Sandinistas. Contras often wore Honduran uniforms not because Honduras wanted involved but because they wanted to deflect as to who they were. They were essentially stolen uniforms...yes, there were sympathizers to their cause, but the government tried to stay out of it as much as possible, but that is very difficult in a small country.
Also, of course I am not a Chavista...I am not Venezuelan and prefer that he keep his politics in his own country. I don´t particularly like it when my own country the US sticks their nose in the business of affairs here either, but I sure don´t like it when dictators come and inject their opinion when they have done very little for this country...what did he do? He gave 100 tractors to Zelaya...those tractors didn´t go to the people there was a lot of show and games,but no one poor got the use of them...they are sitting on his property in Catacamas.
It would have been nice if they had been given to poor farmers for use in each municipality via lottery or something to that nature.
There is something about some loans to for houses that are going to have a small payment ...funny thing is the people are hand selected government pals of Zelayas...why didn´t it go to the poor people and not his elite buddies?
Furthermore, most of us are incensed that we feel like he is selling out the country and our military to the highest bidder or the one who sticks their nose up his butt the furthest...what is wrong with our military being for our use and not being the puppets on a string to Chavez? Many don´t realize that Alba is a military accord and not a free trade accord...it is presents in exchange for full power over the military in an external conflict.
I could hardly be called a righty though since I am pro Obama and have been for quite awhile now. However, that doesn´t mean that I lost my common sense...common sense says that there is a difference between being a democrat and being a communist. There is a difference in believing in democratic principals and selling your country out to the cheapest authoritative dictator on the block.
So the person can claim what they want, but what reporters and outsiders see are limited compared to what the actual people who lived it saw. Doesn´t matter how mad they get at me..that is why I said there are always two sides to every story.
