1) Clinton: Latin American countries should think twice about establishing links with Iran (December 2009)

from the archives:

2) US official: Military coup in Honduras is a lesson for the region not to follow Venezuela’s path (July 2009)

“We also are well aware of Iran’s interests in promoting itself with a number of other [Latin American] countries [such as] Venezuela and Bolivia […]

[…] I think that if people want to flirt with Iran, they should take a look at what the consequences might well be for them, and we hope that they will think twice, […] ”

[US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speech at the at the First Diplomacy Briefing Series Meeting, Washington D.C., 11 December 2009] [1]

from the archives:

“We certainly think that if we were choosing a model government and a model leader for countries of the region to follow, that the current leadership in Venezuela would not be a particular model. If that is the lesson that President Zelaya has learned from this episode [i.e. the June 2009 military coup in Honduras], that would be a good lesson.”

[US Assistant Secretary of State Philip Crowley, State Department daily press briefing, 20 July 2009] [2]

  3. I think thatthe United States of America ought to think twice about telling other countries what they should ad should not do. The US is the most abusive, war mongering country in the wrold–by far and away.
