The missile shield intended for Eastern Europe was specifically for defeating missiles from both south and east of Russia, no one expects a “sleeping bear” scenario where the Russians come back and launch their “5,000 nukes”. It’s China and Iran, and if you think we shouldn’t be preparing now for future (50-100 year) precautions related to those two countries you are naive.

Our entire relationship TO Russia has been a colossal disaster so far this administration, and has shown countries like Poland that any intention we had of extending a welcome (really more desired) presence inside their former Motherland’s backyard is not to be.

Great points. I wonder why Obama also refuses to finish the negotiations for the free trade agreements with friendly countries like S. Korea and Colombia.

You really miss the point on Honduras. Just because other countries think one thing, does that make them right? Especially if the UN believes something, it’s almost guaranteed to be a bad thing in this day and age.

The fact is, our own Library of Congress has examined the Honduran constitution and declared that Zelaya’s removal from power was perfectly legal, though his exile was not. Senator Jim DeMint has detailed in the Wall Street Journal what he say in Honduras, and he writes that almost everyone in Honduras supported ousting Zelaya.

What is more, there is already an election scheduled for November 29, and neither Zelaya nor his current replacement are contenders. Thus, you can almost guarantee that there is no corrupt power grab going on. Honduras is still a democracy.

But let me ask you a deeper question, that goes right to Obama’s approach to foreign affairs. Even IF the coup was illegal (which it wasn’t) and Honduras is not a democracy (though it is), why does he insist on negotiating with dictators in Iran and North Korea, but not with a “dictator” in Honduras? Why does he appease tyrants, but apply pressure to friendly governments (India, Poland, Honduras, Israel)?
