- The coup d'etat in Honduras irespective of his merits or lack of them, is another example of the eternal strugle between the ones that economically have everything, the ones that dont have enough and those that don't have enough;one versus the other. bajajohn1 is right. The wealthy and/or the powerfull will fight as long as practically possible to avoid relinquishing what they have and the other two groups would very much like more opportumities for them to have more. Either sxtreme is bad because it would eliminate the balance that MUST EXIST IN NATURE.

- If I did not know better, it sounds as though I may be reading blogs from a group of anarchists. You guys do know that it is a felony to incite ot attempt to incite others to perform illegal acts against the government or other agency within. It is called conspiracy. You guys really need to be careful. I wish you the best in what ever you plan to do. Whatever it is however, don't you dare turn the people of America against each other.

- President Obama will you sit this one too and simply "bear witness" and "wait and see how things play themselves out?" I doubt it. The leftist dogs that rule in your administration won't let you.

- If he was a conservative, Obama would be cheering the coup. It would not be suprising if the Democrats tried to eliminate the two term limit in the US to keep the corrupt Obama administration in power.

- it is rather shamefull when the liberal use of the words ¨constitutional Referendum¨is used in this article. NOhting of that sort was taken place in Honduras, you guys are not cheking your sources (or reading the news papers) or simply are part of the illegal actions that the Mr. Zelaya was involved in

- Which is the only real option, we are not the bosses of Iran, or any other country. That you 24%-ers still presume to judge others when you are even more corrupt than those you condemn, is actually funny.
You don't even have any real reason to hate Hugo Chavez, he has done nothing to you, but then again you never needed a real reason to hate anyone, it is ingrained in your nature.

"Way to go, Honduras!!! (for now) - Reply to this comment
- Now that the US has become a Repressive Socialist Country, Hondurans and others likely feel that somebody has to stand up for Freedom in the Hemisphere.
Obama will be far more receptive to the Iranian clerics than to the Hondurans who oppose Obama's leftist philosophy of government. - Reply to this comment
- "I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter," Obama's statement read.
"The action taken against Honduran President Mel Zelaya violates the precepts of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and thus should be condemned by all," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement Sunday.
"We call on all parties in Honduras to respect the constitutional order and the rule of law, to reaffirm their democratic vocation, and to commit themselves to resolve political disputes peacefully and through dialogue. Honduras must embrace the very principles of democracy we reaffirmed at the OAS meeting it hosted less than one month ago," said Clinton
Such a rapid and vociferous response from the US in defense of an Hugo Chavez ally - on the heels of no response to a brutal theocracy in Iran. This really is change I can believe in. - Reply to this comment

- Standard comment from a neo. The coup does indeed violate several laws, both international, and Honduran, But of course the neos don't believe in law, only that they can spew hostility and hatred at any one they are directed to by their masters.
Violation of law. Try looking the words up, and connecting them to a thought process.
No matter how much you cannot abide those whose humanistic positions place them to the left of your death-dealing war-worship agenda, it is still against the law, and your disdain for the law is apparent, therefore you have no valid point on the matter.
Change you can believe in? Your comment suggests voted against change in the first place, but now complain that you don't see that which you didn't want?
Typical.
- The funny thing is that Mel's own party, the opposition parties, the Honduran Supreme Court and the military were ALL against modifying the constitution. They found a way to stop him. If you could watch/read the non-marxist media elsewhere, you'd be able to see the Honduran congress basically kicking their loony president out and electing a temporary one. That is not a brutal military coup d'etat... That was the people of Honduras speaking out. If you noticed, Mel's supporters never exceeded more than a handful of marxist "block commanders".

Brutal or not, it was still illegal. Only a neo would posit that illegalities are OK, because they know of no one killed. It is increasingly clear that the present day neo has no regard for the rule of law, and so during the upcoming elections, when you all start harping on law and order, remember that you are on record as not supporting law.
You say the people spoke out, but you refuse to recognize that they spoke out when a majority of them elected him. It was the military who spoke out, and the military are no more representative of all the people than a US corporation represents all Americans.
It took more than a handful of supporters to elect him in the first place.
All your points are invalid.
- Perhaps by not starting another pointless war on the other side of the world with a country that is trying rid itself of it's own problems is change that "I" can believe in. The change we've seen in Iran is monumental, and in part due to a worldwide change of attitude that President Obama has helped to bring about. Both sides have valid arguments in Honduras, we should be supportive of our president and a peaceful resolution in Honduras.

- The Honduran congress, witnessing the illegal acts of a president who had sent the country into a political and economic tailspin and was ready to conduct a referendum on his eternal re-election using Venezuelan equipment sent by Chavez sent him packing? Humm, good thing it could never happen here...

- The Zelaya government is considered leftist in a country of great poverty and hunger. Those who ovethrew the government are a cabal, considered by the Zelaya at his news conference out of Costa Rica this a.m. as elitist within Honduran society. Zelaya sat with President Arias and detailed his friendship with the other Presidents of the Oraganization of American States stating that all of them are working hard to overcome hunger, disease and to educate their people. In poor countries with those conditions, socialist policies often emerge; the opposition will always be by the very powerful of those societies who will not budge or relinquish any of their power or wealth. Who's right? Who knows, only history will tell.

- Let's see, the country entered an economic and political tailspin since Mel took office. His own party was against an illegal referendum that would allow him to unilaterally modify the constitution (can you imagine something like that here in the U.S.?) He was given many chances to change his mind, but just a few days ago, venezuelan equipment and supplies were brought in to conduct his referendum... In the words of Michael Jackson, if he wants to know who's responsible for today's events, all he has to do is to look at the man in the mirror...
- I don't know why they put COUP in quotes, as if they are afraid to just say it was a MILITARY COUP D'ETAT right in the title. Later in the article, they managed to quote Zelaya saying those words. But this term is not subject to interpretation or disagreement. When the military seizes the palace, expels the president, and takes over the elected government by force, that is a "coup d-etat". I wonder who is pulling the strings in Honduras. The CIA has a lot of activity down there.
