America has Certainly Left Its Mark On Iraq
Instead, the millions of American soldiers who have passed through Iraq have brought the Iraqis a plague. From Afghanistan - in which they showed as much interest after 2001 as they will show when they start "leaving" that country next year - they brought the infection of al-Qa'ida. They brought the disease of civil war. They injected Iraq with corruption on a grand scale. They stamped the seal of torture on Abu Gharib - a worthy successor to the same prison under Saddam's vile rule - after stamping the seal of torture on Bagram and the black prisons of Afghanistan. They sectarianised a country that, for all its Saddamite brutality and corruption, had hitherto held its Sunnis and Shias together.

TP Articles: Democracy Derailed in Honduras
Though there is no indication that the United States is considering using military force to restore Zelaya- Washington should follow the lead of the rest of the Americas and resist the temptation to attach conditions to its support for his return to office.
