For the past three months most of the world has marched in lock-step behind Manuel Zelaya's demand to be reinstated as the president of Honduras. Last week Zelaya returned surreptitiously to Tegucigalpa, where he is now using the Brazilian embassy as a base for rallying his supporters at home and abroad. The Honduran government has ruled that this must stop, and now, for the first time, serious domestic unrest is a real possibility.

Very well done article about Honduras and what lead up to Zelaya's removal. Also who is behind him. Out in the open.

They did not mention in the article the connection between the 2-Billion loan to Brazil for the off-shore drilling project and Brazil’s support of Zelaya.

Lula is bought & paid for by Obozo.

He recently appointed the new President of the Export-Import Bank which financed it. Another Leftie and past college administrator.

Follow the money.

Financial magazines are usually written for Conservatives by Conservatives. I have worked in the stock market for over 35 years. It’s hard to find a Liberal in its ranks.

I fully expect the military and police to keep things under control until the emergency is over. I also expect the Honduran military to storm the Brazilian embassy. Zelaya is using it as a base of operations to incite insurrection in the country.
