The sorrows of empire...

Angered by deadly drug operation shooting, Hondurans demand DEA leave

Quote:
People in Honduras' predominantly Indian Mosquito coast region burned down government offices and demanded that U.S. drug agents leave the area, reacting angrily to an anti-drug operation in which they say police gunfire killed four innocent people, including two pregnant women.
The DEA now claims that its agents didn't fire any shots during the debacle, though the helicopter used for the raid was indeed a DEA chopper, and agents were indeed on site when this all happened.

I don't know... personally, sending armed DEA agents abroad doesn't seem like it will accomplish all that much, and the downsides are fairly obvious, as we can see in this case.
