If Zelaya had been allowed to remain in the country, I'm sure there would have been a large amount of civil unrest. But, it would have also been a lot more difficult for Obama and friends to claim that it was an coup.

But, it would have also been a lot more difficult for Obama and friends to claim that it was an coup. Obama, Chávez, Castro and others of their ilk would have been critical if the Hondurans had done ANYTHING that would have removed Zelaya from power — we can be sure of that! The Hondurans were men of action, making tough decisions that few have the guts and decisiveness to undertake — if you've ever been in command, you know what I mean. You don't wait for the inevitable disaster to happen — you act with boldness and thoughtfulness, and you stand by your decision! A bullet in Zelaya's head while he slept would have been justified under the circumstances, as he had Dictatorship of their country in mind! But instead — they complied with Article 66 of their Constitution prohibiting the death penalty — driving his sorry ass to the airport in his jammies and shoving him on the next plane out of the country. At least 13 of the 378 Articles of the Honduran Constitution deal with Treason — the Honduran leaders were quite generous with their would-be Dictator. By the way: Obama and friends think that YOU & I are Racists, Nazis and borderline-Terrorists for exercising our First Amendment rights of Free Speech, Assembly and Petitioning our government. Acting with conviction and thoughtfulness — while remaining within the framework and freedoms of one's Constitution — is NOT something Obama and company should not be critical of ... at home ... or abroad. The Hondurans acted in the best interest of their democracy. It, however, is questionable if Obama and friends are doing the same for you and I at this moment in American history ... |
