Boy, that's a great way to find out the facts -- listen to only one side.

Wouldn't it be better to talk both to Zelaya's supporters and the interim government's? Then maybe fact-check each side to see what the truth is?

Zelaya was comfortably ensconced here and had ample time to present his case to Congress, and once he was smuggled back into Honduras, in fact continued to broadcast on the radio from the Brazilian embassy, urging Hondurans to turn out in the streets, until they pulled the plug on his station because he was attempting to incite violence. Well, that and his ravings about the Jews blowing poison gas under the door of the embassy...

Zelaya and his “supporters” (by whom I assume you mean Hugo Chavez, the Nicaraguan Marxist president, and the guys wearing the Che Guevara shirts who are throwing rocks at the Honduran army) have talked up a storm and have been the only people listened to by our government. The US has actually ejected Honduran diplomats, including Micheletti’s daughter, rather than listen to them.

So remind me who needs a hearing again?

Great sense of fairness you have there. 90% of all reports published about Honduras are heavily distorted in defense of Zelaya and you suggest that his side hasn’t been heard. ROTFLOL You and Mel are a joke.

All I have seen from you in your misplaced defense of Zelaya is a couple of alleged procedural foot faults by the Honduran government.

Who stepped over the line first?

Answer: Your commie cowboy did. He is the one and only cause of this problem and the Hondurans are handling it as well as they can be expected to. Don’t forget the bottom line for them is the denial of any executive to assume unbalanced power,
