- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -5/+91The Military did exactly the right thing and held true to their oath...to protect their constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic.
- Philogos, on 06/28/2009, -15/+76kudos to whoever had the balls to order troops to arrest their own president
- LinuxCobra, on 06/28/2009, -6/+43I would like to clear a few things up.
1) Honduran congress held a vote to remove Mel Zelaya as president which passed.
2) Military acted on orders from the Honduras congress to detain Mel Zelaya (he broke the law and tried to hold an illegal vote)
3) Mel Zelaya is a known Chavez supporter.
4) It is known that those who were to go vote were paid to do so in order to allow Mel Zelaya to change the Honduran constitution to allow him to run another term.
All the things Mel has done have been corrupt and turned Dictatorship when he fired the General because he didn’t support his cause.
I am a Honduran and this is for democracy and peace. Look what happened to Nicaragua and you be the judge. - keviniskool, on 06/28/2009, -6/+42BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
- erkokite, on 06/28/2009, -4/+34He was trying to illegally extend his time in office- they have term limits in Honduras. Their supreme court even stated that the referendum was illegal.
- AzzidReign, on 06/28/2009, -28/+55ALL ***** CAPS DAY. JESUS ***** CHRIST, IT'S LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES A ***** THAT A TRUE HERO, BILLY MAYS, DIED. *****.
- oldhick, on 06/28/2009, -8/+27This guy was a piece of crap. But he had not been charged with a crime yet, nor was he legally removed from office. Just like in the United States when it became clear Nixon had violated the law, this did not give the military any authority to remove him. Our Constitution, just like the Honduran Constitution has procedures for removing officials from office.
This military coup simply proves that Honduran Constitution is worthless and that the Honduran military have no respect for it. While we all despise the pathetic power grab, I hope we recognize the authority of law and Constitutional process over a military coup. - Atheuz, on 06/28/2009, -5/+21I heard he tried asserting himself as a dictator. Not very democratic. The military did the right thing here.
- oldhick, on 06/28/2009, -0/+14We saw your original comment, you don't need to post it twice.
- Jalh, on 06/29/2009, -0/+10that was the congress.
- twiztidsinz, on 06/28/2009, -0/+9Because there's more to life than your sheltered existence, idiot.
- whatthefu, on 06/28/2009, -3/+12That doesn't mean they're going to keep doing the right thing.
- Ticomania, on 06/28/2009, -11/+18Obama has to what? Are you insane? The supreme court ruled this referendum illegal but Zelaya went against this ruling with the elections. Let the record show he was breaking the law, and when you break the law you are arrested. There is no discussion here and Obama better not meddle in Central America, unless he wants to come down and bow like he does in Saudi Arabia.
- Junkyarddawg, on 06/29/2009, -2/+9Second time in a year Chavez has threatened a neighboring country with military intervention; the first time was when he threatened to invade Colombia after they'd started making some real headway in smacking down its Venezuela-supported narco-guerilla FARC.
It's almost as if Chavez is spoiling for a fight to take his people's mind off the situation in Venezuela, isn't it. - alexpnd, on 06/28/2009, -2/+9Not if he is being undemocratic by changing the constitution to extend his term. The military followed all procedures and waiting for the polls to open to convict him of the crime.
- Honduranguy, on 06/29/2009, -2/+9I'm also Honduran. Mel was taking our country in a direction the people doesn't support. We are democratic and will stay that way. We feared living with Mel as president for another 40 years, he has done so much damage in only four years. Only a small fraction of the populace is pro Mel, but that's a given, you can never have consensus. Still, the vast majority of Hondurans are glad he's gone. Especially his ministers, they are such corrupt, arrogant bastards.
- abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -1/+8shouldnt we have done it to bush? i mean you can make that argument on both sides all day
- inactive, on 06/29/2009, -0/+6@JF; Funny that...The Supreme's said it was, In fact, not legal at all.
You will excuse me if I defer to the Supreme's woun't you... It is their country after all. - LinuxCobra, on 06/28/2009, -7/+13I don't think you know what the Honduran constitution is. Comparing it to the USA is very dumb since the two countries are not the same.
Just like Chavez shouldn't stick his nose in Honduras neither should Obama or any other country.
No to communism. - oldhick, on 06/28/2009, -1/+7And it looks like the Congress did impeach him after the fact... http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/06/28/hondu ...
- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -24/+30zelaya wants to be another Chavez.. throw him in prison..
- norman619, on 06/28/2009, -4/+10If only you would start using your brain.
- AzzidReign, on 06/28/2009, -4/+10SHUT THE ***** UP. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? A MAN HAS DIED. HE'S NOT LIKE JESUS. HE CAN'T RESSURECT. HE'S *****. HE CAN ONLY LIVE WITH US, HONORING HIM.
IT'S LIKE I'M INSANE OR SOMETHING? - MetalHead73, on 06/28/2009, -7/+13Because Obama is definitely trying to remove term limits.
Ignorant prick. - Findeton, on 06/28/2009, -7/+12How odd..., the military of a country holds a Coup d'état and most americans support it, just because they've bought into the propaganda they've seen on tv. I'm very surprised !! </sarcasm>
- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -4/+9How can a constitutional referendum be illegal?.
That doesn't even make sense... - LinuxCobra, on 06/28/2009, -2/+71) You nor I know if that letter is fraudulent, no point in mentioning it after the fact he has been removed from office anyways.
2) The military will not break a constitutional law that states you cannot change certain clauses. It is their job by law to distribute the ballots however it is an illegal vote.
3) Chavez is threatening to send in troops to Honduras, why?
4) Every been to a latin american country? if you get booked by the police all you have to do is hand him a $20 and your free to go. - KirbyandPeach, on 06/29/2009, -1/+5His ideological views are irrelevant. He broke our law. OUR law. The ONLY law that holds any relevance in this matter.
- allg, on 06/29/2009, -0/+4military coups can still be supported by people in 21st century. wow..
- takamalak, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4It's OK. How many times do we wish we can bury a comment twice? In this case we can.
- phatbyte, on 06/29/2009, -5/+9Wouldn't be cool if Iran troops did the same ? :D
- edd17, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4Why the hell did you read it then? Why did you take the time to comment if you have so little time and money? Get off your computer and cancel your internet connection, that'll take care of both of those problems.
- s14sh3r, on 06/28/2009, -7/+11Obama and other leaders are scared because this is exactly what need to happen when a leader decides he or she is above the law. Lots of people cry that you can't make policy with bullets. Oh, but you can!
- LinuxCobra, on 06/28/2009, -2/+6In Honduras you are not allowed to change certain constitutional rights. He wanted to change the term length which is illegal and bans you 10 years from running for president again.
- oldhick, on 06/29/2009, -1/+4Actually he was charged after the coup, see the story below LinuxCobra. :)
- seifer085, on 06/29/2009, -3/+6I live in Honduras and Zelaya is a disgrace, a commie tryin to impose his way on the country, the military were ordered by congress and carried out their mission, most of the country is glad he's gone we dont wanna become Nicaragua or Venezuela that would be reversing progress.
- pt4117, on 06/30/2009, -0/+3Yeah, how could you support something like the Revolutionary War? If you don't like your leader you should do nothing until they decide to leave power on their own.
/s
He was trying to get a referendum going that the supreme court ruled illegal. Then decided that he would have the military enforce that illegal referendum. When they said no, he ousted the general. What were they supposed to do? Should they let him fire everyone in power that disagrees with him, and let him push unconstitutional rules on everyone? - KirbyandPeach, on 06/29/2009, -0/+3Yes, JF, it is OUR contry after all. Our courts judged it to be illegal.
- Napiertt, on 06/28/2009, -4/+7I'm a bit conflicted. It seems as President he was acting unconstitutionally, and the military may have been correct in removing him. On the other hand, it's never a good precedent for the military to remove a nation's leader in a democracy.
- Traviow, on 07/14/2009, -0/+2So the congress had the president arrested for his crimes. That's a beautiful thing. What do you do when the congress needs to be arrested?
- Omega3062, on 06/28/2009, -4/+6Actually he had been charged and he was arrested with a warrant from the supreme court. So, check your sources before you start talking out of your ass again.
- publiclurker, on 06/28/2009, -7/+9You're a few months too late douche bag.
- Honduranguy, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2And the certainly don't live as Marxists should. Zelaya was bankrupt before becoming president, now he owns his own private island. Go figure.
- Doc123, on 06/28/2009, -13/+15One less Marxist dictator.
- abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2what was it the madison doctrine that basically stated that the us will defend all of north and south americas.? i could be wrong about the president and i dont feel like wiki it
- Junkyarddawg, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2They're not really marxist, tho, any of them, including Chavez. They're populists, hiding behind marxist rhetoric because it resonates with the huge number of impoverished and uneducated people.
- Findeton, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2"because he assumes the US is involved. "
You just made that up. I never said the US is involved and I may not like the US international policy of the last years, but I don't think the US has anything to do with it. - specialK16, on 06/29/2009, -1/+3I don't understand how people support this *****. There are legal ways to fight ***** like this, a coup is illegal and completely anti-democratic.
Yeah, let's break the constitution to catch someone who allegedly broke it as well. - inactive, on 06/28/2009, -4/+6lol bastard got what was coming to him.
