"Hondurans would really like a regional peace agreement, but they also want to maintain good relations with the U.S., and right now the two seem mutually exclusive," says a Western diplomat in Tegucigalpa. "So they are hanging on to the U.S. trapeze, too frightened to let go and try to catch the Central American trapeze...
