Respect Honduras' sovereingty if they want to get rid of their corrupt leader, let them. He was allied with Castro for goodness sakes. He tried to break the law and change their constitution.

US Position

I do not understand the position the US administration (Obama) are openly taking on this issue. As Provo Joe stated, Zelaya was trying to position himself to become the next Hugho Chavez in Latin America. I don't necessarily agree with military coup actions, but I belive the Honduran action was justified to prevent their country from becoming another left-wing dictatorship. Free elections are still scheduled for this coming fall. Zelaya's actions would likely have prevented that from happening.

OAS is chicken

When the OAS tried to intervene in Venezuela's internal affairs, Chavez was screaming bloody murder. Now he is egging them on. Honduras is right to tell the OAS to keep out. Obama is wrong to try to force another Chavez (Zelaya) on a country that has historically been a pretty good ally of the U.S.
