  • Zelaya is a Hugo Chavez puppet who should be killed immediately if he steps inside Honduras.

  • Tough call here for R's. Do they side with a facist military coup that overthrows a democratically elected president, or do they side with Chavez, Ortega and Hillary Clinton in demanding his return! ;^) -- found a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

  • Zelaya was removed by order of the Honduran Supreme Court because that is the required penalty for violating the Constitution he swore to uphold. The Army had to follow the order from the Supreme Court. The same thing may happen to Obama if the US Supreme Court rules he does not meet the Constitutional requirement to be president. Obama is hoping this does not happen to him.

  • Yes, in Honduras we have many problems, thousands of gangs members ,as many as cocaine addicts in America. We have violence and people die just like the shootings in the schools of america (sorry for Virginia Tech), but the most important thing is we dont want a socialist, lier as president. America dropedd Nixon for lier, we were a little bit far, we ousted Zelaya.

    I want every one to understand what is going on the So-called United Nations hate our people and til this day our people are suffering The Lords People will raise and just to let you brothers & sisters know. Do not follow this cover up that happend because of the CIA and the spanish that wipe our indignous people off the map but not every one is a mestizo like thay say.

  • No, Honduras is mostly chill. The worst people are the gang members, who were deported from the US after learning their trade here.

    There hasn't been a huge history of violence like El Salvador or Guatemala. They do have agrarian reform laws and squatter rights laws. Mostly, even the right wingers want peace. Zelaya was a moderate reformer now being depicted as a "commie".

  • yes, comical.... I heard that Zelaya was really ousted because he tried to change the constitution. He tried to add to it by inserting a mandatory "underwear" policy. He wants all Hondurans to start changing their underwear three times a day. Also, the people of Honduras must wear their underwear on the outside of their clothes so that the govt change check, and make sure it is getting done.

  • hang on here

    i may have made an error

    is it Guatemala that is claiming Belize?

    sorry Honduras

    carry as you were

    i'm sure all the issues of central america are very serious for the people involved but from a distance the place seems slightly comical at times

    i suppose that comes from being in north america - an often comical place in the world

    maybe if the usa stopped being such an arsehole to other north americans things would be better

  • I really know almost nothing about Honduras

    Is it a case of one lot of bad guys against another another lot of bad guys?

    green refrigerators ???

  • LOL

    My theory was that Hillary should have been President for 8 years (2008-2016), then Jeb for the next 8, then Chelsea for 8, and finally the Bush twins for 4 ( they would have to toss a coin to see who got to be Pres and who VP)

    You could have an open election then.

    USA would not have the bother and cost of elections and Reps. and Dems. would get turn and turn about.

  • @ thepissedoff.. I know it was 3 but libarals can't count (sorry), they are stupid and ignorant remember? This kenyan muslim marxist (Obama) is determined to destroy the US economy and create a dependant class that will bow to him, just like Hugo Chavez. (His secret pen pal)
