the Jack Ass Micheletti is just another dictator.

He shoud be arrested.

[dmatamorosq]

No he didn´t. Has the military not kicked zelaya out, Micheletti would still have been president. And a cousin of mine was beaten by a crowd of "peaceful resistance" members. And what do you call it when a man breaks in a military base to steal confiscated material? Let me tell you, A CRIMINAL. Anyway, I won´t keep on arguing, I have much better things to do.

He didn't come to power militarily? What do you call it when the army shoots up the house of the leader of a country and takes said leader out of the country by force of arms? I think anyone would call that a military action. And as for those "peace marches", my cousin works for the municipality for Tegus. She was told she would lose her job if she didn't go. Sounds a bit forced to me.

[dmatamorosq]

Well, I´m telling YOU what I saw. On the way to MY house there were 5 cars holding up all the traffic. FIVE, out of 100 in line. Roberto Micheletti did not come into power militarily, he was next in line, as our Constitution says. So yeah it was a mistake kicking zelaya out like that, now we have the international community on our tails, but we did the right thing by removing him as president.

I'm just telling you what I saw. The cars started out all parked too, which is why they got a count. It's really hard to block traffic when you're parked on the side of the street, but maybe you know how it's done? Anyway, we've strayed from the point, which is that more than 20% of the Honduran population is actually in favor for him. It's hard to be in favor of someone who came into power militarily. The world, particularly Latin America, recalls well the tyranny left behind by military coups.

[dmatamorosq]

Yeah, this was the day that Zelaya went to the Brazilian Embassy. My child´s kindergarten had to call me to pick him up urgently because of all the problems that "the resistance" was causing. Have the "golpistas" caused this? Yeah, let´s end this discussion, too bad you´re uneducated.

[dmatamorosq]

That caravan had about 1000 cars because there were 20 cars holding up all the traffic, haha! Camera tricks? Come on! Anyway I´m not gonna start a discussion, to each his own, I´m just glad this guy ain´t president no more. Peace!

[kmakusch]

I've been to those protests. The fact is they couldn't compare in size to the protests of the resistance. The media surrounding them though, they did pretty nice tricks with the cameras because later when I saw it on TV it looked a lot bigger than it was. They never mentioned the other protests, like the caravan that passed in support of Zelaya that had over 1000 cars though...

ok look for this video "Estado de Sitio, 92 dias de Honduras en Resistencia!" there u can see the police destroying private property... and here i can explain why the government branches are functioning, because the people that are golpistas are still being corrupted, and the ones that dont support the coup left their job position.... anyways dont be in denial, ill stop this discussion with u right now, each one has their own opinion, too bad you're blind..

Check out the video entitles "PAZ EN HONDURAS", and you´ll see more than a football field full of people who want Zelaya out.
