86. The US controls OAS.

Mon Feb 10, 2014, 12:11 AM

I think it's cute that you link CELAC when it was created in direct response to the power the US had over the OAS.

CELAC is an example of a decade-long push for deeper integration within the Americas.[7] CELAC is being created to deepen Latin American integration and to reduce the once overwhelming influence of the United States on the politics and economics of Latin America. It is seen as an alternative to the Organization of American States (OAS), the regional body organised largely by Washington in 1948, ostensibly as a countermeasure to potential Soviet influence in the region.

If OAS, an entity controlled by the US, dumps Honduras over the coup, don't you think that's a pretty clear message that the Obama administration sent?

Again, this is about the US not sending in marines to reinstate Zelaya, nothing more.
