In Ross McKenzie's entertaining
Random Walk of September 3rd, he asks the following questions (among many others):
So why does the Obama administration side with Fidel Castro, Chavez, and other Latin chavistas in backing Zelaya - camped out a la Cindy Sheehan in Nicaragua next to the Honduran border? And why do Obama and his Democrats refuse to approve the free trade agreement with Colombia - America's foremost friend south of the border, and an effective fighter of drug lords and chavista guerrillas?
I can answer the last one. The Democrats never support any American ally (I could stop typing right here) who is "an effective fighter of drug lords", because effectively fighting drug lords drives up the cost of living for many Democratic office-holders, staffers, interest groups, and constituencies.
That was easy.
