I have worked shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Castillo and he speaks the truth I have seen with my own eyes. The Garifuna are not called the “forgotten people” for no reason. Let us hope that peace and justice prevail in Honduras in spite of the few with who think everything is fine.

I can’t help but be struck by the myopic vision by Western leftists of bearded revolutionaries and stereotypical oligarchs, years after the end of the Cold War. It hasn’t dawned on them yet that the changes in global balance of power will affect Latin America as well and this old meme will be looked at as even more ridiculous than today.

I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Cuello. Anyone who looks up to Castro the way Dr. Castillo does has no business claiming to oppose oligarchs and family-controlled government. It’s sad to see smart young people buying into the Castro promises and associating themselves with a government that time and again has been singled out for their barbaric violations of human rights and opression of the Cuban people. Luckily for Honduras, there might just be a minority of people in San Francisco that supported the legal removal from office of ex-President Zelaya ordered by the Supreme Court and carried out by the military, but that’s far from being the case inside Honduras.

Dr. Castillo:

I am a Honduran living in Idaho. I lived in Honduras until the age of 27 and know what you are talking about. Thank you for your work and for speaking up for the oppressed. In addition to monetary donations I would like to get in contact with you to talk about other ways to help. I visit Honduras every year. Please e-mail.

Do not be fooled by such populist rabble rousing. If you want to know the truth about what is really going on in Honduras, I suggest the following blog:

Please respect the will of the majority of the Honduran people and their legitimate constitution. Thank you.
