Dynamite video just released by Honduran Government on the tense situation in Honduras upon reports former President Zelaya (supported by Chavez, Castro and Obama) is now in the country in the Brazilian Embassy.
Gutsy, clear, unequivocal Honduran Government video (in English and Spanish). Breaking!

Let’s hope Honduras follows through. So many time when a government “announces” a policy, it does the opposite immediately. I would imagine the USA is strongly for the return of the socialist.

Does that mean that Wendy’s has taken over the government? :O)

Elections still on for Nov?
If so, that looks like the deadline Zelaya. Once new elections take place, he should be SOL.

The unilateral decision to negotiate breaking articles of the Constitution in order to satisfy some members of the international community. Popular opinion by powerful nations does not rule our nation, and should not rule any country. Excellent address! Honduras' Constitution is, IIRC, 27 years old and their government has therefore been stable for quite some time. In the good old days, when international agencies examined the progress of the rule of law (estado de derecho) in a developing country, they would look for a constitution, defined powers, an independent judiciary and legislature, a plan of succession - all of which Honduras has and to which it is adhering.
But suddenly, because leftists Chavez and Obama want to impose their "way," which of course is full of hope and change and superior to the tired old constitutional form of the past, all international standards appear to have been kicked out the door and the only thing that matters is what they want to do to Honduras and its Constitution.

Please provide the source and link for the September 6 (or was it written earlier?) letter from the foreign minister of Honduras.

Has anyone asked the press weasel Gibbs about this?
Someone needs to ask him why the United States is helping a dictator take back power over a country that has acted according to it’s Constitution. Has anyone done this and I’ve just missed it?
To: AmericanInTokyo
Good for them!
But ... we used to be the good guys. If we can’t be on the right side we should just stay out of it and not side in with enemies like Chavez, etc.

“...Please consider what is being asked of our country: Break the Constitution. Ignore the rule of law....”
Well-said in Lopez-Contteras’ letter. Especially when he said powerful nations should not ask them to break their own laws.
I hope they know a lot of Americans see the president is on the wrong side of this.
Thanks for posting that.

Please consider what is being asked of our country: Break the Constitution. Ignore the rule of law. We simply can not do this because of a mistake in expatriating a Honduran national who had been Constitutionally stripped of the powers that democracy provided to him only to have him abuse them. We would never ask another nation to ignore its Constitution and trample on the rule of law much less urposely violate its Constitution to please our opinion. Each day, our citizens wake up and hope that through our insistence and dedication that we can bring understanding to others. We are thankful to friends who have courageously spoken up on our behalf. We are grateful for their support, and are humbled that they have chosen to work selflessly alongside us to bring other nations to understanding our commitment to democracy, the Constitution and the rule of law. I wish we had such principle in our current government.

What's with Brazil? I mean I would understand if Zelaya were holed up in our embassy under the protection of our Dear Leader. But Brazil? Why are they giving aid and comfort to this guy?

Personally, I think it has something to do with influence from our White House....and the money given to Brazil recently for off shore drilling.
Perhaps I am totally incorrect....but, with this president, one never knows.
