Before I comment on your post, I must do some homework.
This is to indicate I have not ignored your opinion.

(Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.)
Take as much time as you need. Here is how I suggest you research the subject:
I have used as my sources three official Honduran documents. These are the Constitution of 1982 as amended, the Special Communique issued by the Supreme Court on June 30th, and Legislative Decree 141-2009 of June 28th removing Zelaya from office/installing Micheletti as President. I posted links to these documents
in another Free Republic thread (comment #169). The Constitution and the legislative decree are available in English at the links.
To understand what happened in Honduras and why, you really need to look at the sequence of events as reported in the Special Communique issued by the Honduran Supreme Court and published
here. It is only two or three pages long and in Spanish but it is clearly written. To translate it into English, copy the text, open
http://translate.google.com, and paste the text into the box.
