Honduras on the Brink, and Brazil Tipping it Over

It looks like Brazil is staying out of Honduras' internal affairs, minding its business, and not meddling. Glad to see that. After all, most of what we hear from the South is how the US is always meddling. I am pleased that these countries do not meddle. I am waiting for Venezuela to get into this, after all - none of those countries like the US meddling, so they completely understand.
