Honduran President Porfirio Lobo is promising to crack down on a wave of violence that has gripped his country, including the killing of at least six journalists recently.

Latin America experts are warning about the growing threat from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, citing new evidence of Chavez’s expanding ties with Iran and Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. Could our porous southern border become an even worse problem?

Supporters of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega were in the streets of Managua last week firing on a hotel, burning cars, and otherwise trying to intimidate opposition members of Congress. The mob was mobilized because the legislature is standing in the way of a Hugo Chávez-style power grab by Mr. Ortega.

A day after saying he wanted to cool tensions with Colombia, President Hugo Chavez charged Monday that his neighbor recently let a U.S. military plane carry out “electronic warfare” operations against Venezuela.

Will Venezuela be the next Afghanistan? Russian arms, Chinese financing, Iranian nuclear help and now Iranian special forces help Hugo Chavez in his goal of taking over Latin America. With our porous borders, does anyone think we can keep Iranian special forces out of the US?

Chavez announced that China will be giving Venezuela $20 billion in financing for long-term development projects in Venezuela. Is that to buy more arms from Russia? Nuclear help from Iran?

Why is the US bullying one of its few democratic allies in Latin America?

The Obama administration seems to be encouraging the rapid descent of Latin American countries into socialist dictatorships. …more humiliation for Americans who used to think of their government as a noble defender of liberty against despots.

While Obama focuses on socializing the US and ignores the southern hemisphere, Hugo Chavez is expanding his influence throughout Latin America.

Standing silent as democracy atrophies in Venezuela is now not only immoral, but is becoming increasingly dangerous for all of Venezuela’s people.
