ReplyDeleteAllowing Zelaya to stay in the Brasilian embassy is in direct violation of Brazil's policy of non-intervention in other country's internal affairs. Interesting twist of events - the US does something in another country with the host country's tacit permission and the left leaning leaders of the region scream until their lungs eject from their bodies.
