today, san pedro sula is a city susynonymous with murder. and to understand just how bad it is, you can look at pictures like this one of literally body bags getting ready to go to mass graves from murders happening in these neighborhoods in san pedro sula. you can read a recent article in "the new york times" by francis roblis. it tells the chilling story of christian, an 11-year-old sixth grader from honduras, who lost his father in march after he was robbed and murdered by gangs while working as a security guard protecting a pastry truck. it's kind of hard to imagine needing a security guard to protect a pastry truck. three people he knows were murdered this year alone. four others were gunned down on a nearby corner in the span of two weeks at the beginning of the year. a girl his age resisted being robbed of the sum of $5. she was clubbed over the head, dragged off by two men who cut a hole in her throat and stuffed her underwear in it and left her body in a ravine across the street from christian's house. not to mention the story of an

san pedro sula is thought to be the murder capital of the world. when i was in honduras in 1981 and 1981, it wasn't an overly violent place. it was under a military dictat dictatorship. there was poverty. but refugees were coming into honduras back then from el salvador and guatemala. they weren't leaving because there wasn't the everyday violence we see today. honduras was a great ally of the united states, a great partner. honduras was one of the original countries where we sent peace corps volunteers and i could see their influence all around the country. but honduras is a very different nation today. honduras is now the murder capital of the world. highest homicide rate in the united states, about 40 times the homicide rate of the united states. this area, el progresso is really sort of the epicenter of that. the united states had to pull peace corps volunteers out of honduras a few years ago because it got too violent. and the friends that i've stayed in touch with over the years have -- have informed me about what's been happening in their ne
