Hugo Chavez needs to get the Saddam Hussein treatment...from what country...none!

This should be done covertly by the CIA, Delta force and the Navy Seals...he needs to go away.

Hugo Chavez is wrecking Central And Latin America.

Hitler said a bunch of lies and so many idiots believed him. History proves it: murderous dictators are good at lying, ignorants believe them and corrupted leaders support them. But in the end the truth comes out, for it cannot be concealed forever. Zelaya is a murderous, drug dealer, thief, abuser, insane dictator. I know this for a fact, I witnessed his abuses and crimes for three years.

May the true great spirit of this country guide the population to true freedom! Please do not let guns oppress the masses! The supper greedy the world over need to see that will not work! What is done there could set the path for future movements that bring true freedom to the whole human race! The day is near when guns will not keep the masses down! Please let this be the first place to see it happen! Less will die if the people of your country stand their ground!

They need to modify the constitution so "the big brother" can stay for ever on the power as Castro did.

This is the way they have desing to reach a totalitariam regime. This is what they call "Socialismo del Siglo XXI".

Obama no coquetees mas con Castro y Chavez.  El gobierno provisional de Honduras es nuestro amigo y aliado.

Basta de apoyar a Zelaya.

Go and have a look at the levels of poverty and education in venezuela before and after Hugo Chaves.

I am not Chavista , i am from Brasil but i consider myself a democratic person who respects the will of the people !!!

How stupid you North americans are!!

You just belive in what you see on tv ?

Chaves was elected , Zelaya was elected and the constitution is something that has to be change !!

People dont have to obey some rule made by a small group of people in some time just because is in the constitution.

Brazil had 7 constitutions , Argentina has moddified its constitution 7 times and England and Israel dont even have one !!!

You shouldnt belve only on what you see on the tv !!!

Chavez! wake up people!!

The rule of law requires Zelaya to be removed from office. If you do not understand that, I don't know how to help you. Zelaya violated the Constitution he swore to uphold. Obama supports Zelaya because he knows this could happen to him too. The US is facing a Constitutional crisis because of Obama.

The Honduran Supreme Court ruled the Army was correct to remove the president from office because he violated the Constitution. What happened in Honduras could happen in the US. If the Supreme Court rules Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore not eligible to be president, the Army will be ordered to remove Obama from office. The removal of Zelaya is just and constitutional.
