It seems to me that nobody’s hands are clean here - a democratically elected president attempting to manipulate his country’s constitution to solidify his own power and an army that kidnaps said democratically elected president in a coup. It seems to me that we shouldn’t be too quick to approve the methods here (coup), even if we like the outcome, and we shouldn’t be too quick to align ourselves with an ousted president whose claim to power is the very constitution he was trying to circumvent. Obama seems to have managed to pretty much make a mess of it. I particularly enjoyed his analysis today, namely that the coup was ‘not legal.’ NO sh*t Shirlock. This man taught law? An illegal coup, imagine it, LOL.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. It was not a coup. The Supreme Court and Congress followed their constitutional procedures, up to and during the removal of Zelaya from office.
The army did not "kidnap" Zelaya; the army "arrested" Zelaya on constitutionally proper orders from the Supreme Court and Congress, for just cause.
I’m perfectly fine with the method. It was a country exercising its constitutional rights. Hopefully, the same will happen in venezuala and the US.
