US embassy cable - 04TEGUCIGALPA862

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Editorial in San Pedro Sula-based liberal daily "La 
Prensa" on 4/15 entitled "Iraq."  "The situation in Iraq has 
deteriorated in the last weeks, due to the uprising of 
several armed groups in territories controlled by Shiites 
and Sunnis threatens to spread the violence to the whole 
Iraq." 
 
"Military actions won't lead to a rational and permanent 
solution if they aren't backed and strengthened by a 
political strategy focused on the dialogue and negotiation, 
to develop a process to establish a popularly-elected Iraqi 
government in a peaceful and safe environment." 
 
"Our soldiers are certainly trying to help in that 
undertaking, but they face the risk of getting involved in 
the violence provoked by the religious and political 
extremism."
