Pick on the little man

A quote from commentator Pat Buchanan: “Last Saturday, Honduran soldiers marched into the presidential palace, bundled up President Manuel Zelaya and put him on a plane for Costa Rica. The ouster had been ordered by the Supreme Court and approved by the Congress, as Zelaya was attempting an illegal referendum to change the Honduran constitution so he could run for another term. Will someone please explain why this bloodless transfer of power to the civilian legislator first in line for the presidency, in a sovereign nation, is any business of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers or Barack Obama? For all have denounced the "coup" and demanded Zelaya's immediate return. The hypocrisy here is astounding.” Indeed! Very well said. There is s saying in Spanish (translated): “Nobody picks on whom they want but only on whom they can.” In Spanish that would go something like: “Nadie se desquita con quien quiere sino con quien puede.” In other words, you only bully those weaker than you. Is that fair? Should we blame the beautiful woman on the left? No!!! She wasn't even there. She was on Facebook.
