[…] I think that if people want to flirt with Iran, they should take a look at what the consequences might well be for them, and we hope that they will think twice, […] ” |

Quote: | “We certainly think that if we were choosing a model government and a model leader for countries of the region to follow, that the current leadership in Venezuela would not be a particular model. If that is the lesson that President Zelaya has learned from this episode [i.e. the June 2009 military coup in Honduras], that would be a good lesson.” |
[US Assistant Secretary of State Philip Crowley, State Department daily press briefing, 20 July 2009] [2]
