And yet you keep responding to my posts Minister. You must care, maybe a little?

Michelle,
A coup is not a matter of opinon. A coup is defined relatively clearly. So the fact that you make it your opinion that this is a coup shows how willing you are to bend reality to your way of thinking, which is entirely incorrect and puts any other opinions you might have upon a baseless foundation.

I am not the only one who thinks this is a coup: so do the people who have been on the streets for over a week protesting it. I would give you links, but none of them are from Glen Beck or his ilk.

disclaimer: Unlike people who hold that there is no coup in Honduras, I don't call them liars, I simply don't accept their opinion. But they, the coup backers, will disregard me and my posts as liars, and propagandists simply because i disagree with them. That's fine, I'm not hurt by it.

Whatever, Michelle.

As I have stated before; the truth will out and I look forward to seeing an outcome, which maintains democracy in Honduras.

It was not a coup, but a defense of freedom by the Govt of Honduras and their brave & loyal military heroes. They resisted the leftists schemes and attempt to implement a marxist regime much like Chavez and Castro did. Accept it, Zelayas days are numbered. The most he could get out of the Costa Rican talks is to be pardoned from his crimes ,like he was years back for murdering the peasants and the 2 priests. No way should this man ever been allowed to run for president with a past like this.

Pray for the peace of Honduras.

The event was not a coup. The elected government prevented one.
Again, this is no time to take the temperature with waving a finger in the air.
The movement in Iran was given the wrong message.

Why is Obama backing a man who wants to change his country constitution so that he can become president-for-life?

Zelaya has made it very clear that he never intended to extend his term of office. The Constitution needs updating in many ways.

Yes but not by way of flagrant disregard of the institutions that need to support such change.

To update a Constitution you need money, which Honduras lacks, there are other national priorities.

Democracy costs a lot of money, it is an expensive commodity.

Jorge de P.Rico

i believe that the problem is simple, he wants to stay inpower like the others.
chavez, and company.

the oas don,t ,measure or the countries the same, why they don,t defend
the democracy in venezuela, why they don,t ask the cuban goverment to have free election, why the cuban goverment are afraid if all cuban are going to vote for them anyway.'
i don,t support coup, but in this situation, i do.
i don,t support abortion either, but in some case i do.

This is only true if you believe what Zelaya has to say but, the vast majority of the Honduran people don't believe him.

I don't have a copy of the document but, the people in Honduras say that he changed the "poll" on the 27'th to a "fourth ballot" question: do you want to immediately dissolve the constitution of Honduras?

About pro-coup media in Honduras:

After yesterday's La Presna's lame excuse about blood being "distorted" because of a "processing error" I remembered this:

at/near the airport people were chanting "We are not five! We are not one hundred! Sell-out press count us right/correct"
http://www.abn.info.ve/noticia.php...

The protesters know that La Prensa and others are helping coup leader Micheletti stay in power. That's probably also why La Prensa couldn't get away with that airbrushed picture.

The protesters were also chanting "Telesur! Telesur!" at/near the airport. It's either because Chavez paid off all these protesters (this is the one pro-coup backers will believe or that the audio has been compromised) or because the protesters know which media is being honest.

I guess like me, these protesters are propagandists, liars, benders of reality, and don't know what is good for the country-- as labeled by coup backers.

You could "guess" that, Michelle, but the more reasonable conclusion to draw would be that the pro-Zelaya protesters know which news agency to support. This would be the one that is favouring their cause. Simple as that really.
