Hillary Clinton förklarar USA:s position när det gäller demokratin i Honduras: Man vill inte lägga sig i. Man vill låta "de två parterna" reda ut sina meningsskiljaktigheter. Så fint. Så hycklande.

Från Ny Times: While Secretary Clinton reiterated the United States’ condemnation of Mr. Zelaya’s ouster, she stopped short of calling for his reinstatement, a departure from statements by President Obama earlier Tuesday and from the position taken by much of the international community.

When asked whether the United States viewed Mr. Zelaya’s return as central to the restoration of democratic order, she said that she did not want to “prejudge” the talks before they began.

“There are many different issues that will have to be discussed and resolved,” Mrs. Clinton said. “But I think it’s fair to let the parties themselves, with President Arias’s assistance, sort out all of these issues.”
