Honduras makes left turn from U.S. to Chavez

Honduras, long considered a U.S. ally, is now cozying up to Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. Yesterday, it joined the Chavez-created Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, or ALBA, based on complementary trade and cooperation instead of free-market competition.

Well, this should put a kink into CAFTA, too.

If Obama is a real progressive, he will embrace this move. We’ll see.
