Hondurous

Last Saturday, Honduran soldiers marched into the presidential palace, bundled up President Manuel Zelaya and put him on a plane for Costa Rica.
The ouster had been ordered by the Supreme Court and approved by the Congress, as Zelaya was attempting an illegal referendum to change the Honduran constitution so he could run for another term.
Will someone please explain why this bloodless transfer of power to the civilian legislator first in line for the presidency, in a sovereign nation, is any business of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers or Barack Obama? For all have denounced the "coup" and demanded Zelaya's immediate return.
The hypocrisy here is astounding. Especially sinc BO refused to medle in the protests in Iran, but I guess he only refuses ro medle in communist or Dictatorial countries. Swampy

Simple
What Hondoros did was a true showing of how a democratic constitutionally run country is SUPPOSED to work.
What the president was trying to do was unconstitutional. Proven so by their own courts. He was removed in accordance with their constitution.

Democracy is under attack world wide.
The fact our own president, house or congress didn't have the nuts to stand up and support them just shows how far off cource our country has gotten.
