U.N. General Assembly condemns coup in Honduras

the U.N., that U.S. hating organization and Obama have condemned the coup in Honduras - lets not forget about Chavez and Castro, they too, have condemned this sensless coup of the corrupt president of Honduras. Where is reason?

If the President was indeed going against the country's Supreme Court and Congress, then it seems appropriate to have him removed. I don't know if they followed the process that the Honduran Constitution allowed, though. I would hope they had a process and followed it. But the President shouldn't be above the law.

And, of course, I suspect that guy was heading towards a dictatorship ala Chavez.

Let's see here. The president wanted to hold an election against the constitution so he can be set up for president for life? The attorney general and Supreme Court say that is illegal and must go through Congress. Their Congress says no. Zeyala orders illegal ballots from Venezuela and orders the military to hand them out (again, against their Constitution). The Supreme Courts orders the military to stop the illegal election and they do. Castro, Chavez, Cristina, and all other leftists denounce the throwing out of their communist-in-arms and our state department joins the chorus. Now the UN?

Isn't this exactly what congress, the supreme court, and the military vowed to due with Nixon right before he resigned? and yet when Honduras actually gets rid of an upstart dictator who violated their constitution and defied their supreme court and congress the world leadership cries foul? The most interesting side note is that Zelaya's own party is against him, the interim president is a member of Zelaya's party and has said that he will not run in November's election- Why does the media and our own government insist on leaving out such important details? Zelaya has no support in his own country- people are taking to the streets in mass (over 50,000 reported on cnn) in support of the new interim president- hopefully Obama will stay true to his new policy of not interferring with other country's elections.

Obama wants to keep the option open for his third term. As you know the constitution is a living document and should show emotion for the well being of Obamas devoted.

The problem becomes having a military taking over without a political process.

Yes our constitution is a living document. To write otherwise is an admission of historical ignorance.

Once there was "separate but equal." Then being a living document, justices ruled, "separate but equal is inherently unequal."

Kids if you funk history you may be condemned to being a conservative.

I think the world should respect the sovereignty of Honduras if they want to throw out their corrupt leader, let them. He broke the law and tried to become a dictator. The army, the supreme court, the congress, and the majority of the people were against him. I just think it is disturbing when our country is agreeing with a corrupt guy like Castro in condemning the coup

Pls read article by O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal about Honduras. How did the US foreign office mess up so badly?

Provo Joe:
Sovereignty ? What sovereignty? You are talking about the rich people sovereignty? What about the millions of honduran citizens´ sovereignty?
Some day, I will see the same things in your country and will feel sad.

If the President was doing something illegal and the Supreme Court AND Congress order the military to remove that President, isn't that the very essence of checks & balances?

Whats the problem here?

Actually I think he DID. I've just read on this essay service site a horrible article. And I really think that this all staff is true due to a lot of proved facts in this essay. Only one thing I wander is why nobody talk about this yet. I'm positive we ought to talk about it as much us possible, talk aloud, shout clog them on their hands until they understand.
