Blast from the past… Coup in Central America..
The Honduran Army and Congress toppled Honduran President José Manuel Zelaya Rosales... Military troops arrived at the president’s residence early in the morning and out him on a plane, against his will, to Costa Rica… The Honduran Congress held a special session to approve the coup against Zelaya… Lawmakers accused Zelaya of repeatedly violating the Constitution… The Honduran Congress appointed Roberto Micheletti as interim president until January 27, 2010… Prior to that the Honduran Congress showed a letter, allegedly signed by Zelaya, in which he announced his resignation because of “the strained political situation” in Honduras and because of “severe health problems.”…Shortly afterwards, speaking from Costa Rica, Zelaya said he continued to be the president of Honduras and denied that he had resigned… The surprising chain of events came on the same day that Honduras was readying to take part in a referendum sponsored by Zelaya and opposed by most of the other branches of government, which could have allowed him to seek reelection in November polls…(Comment: Lets see, the Honduran military went to the president´s home, picked him up and dumped him in Costa Rica. ARE THEY IDIOTS OR WHAT??? Oh yeah… and the letter…and the supposed “severe health problems”… WHAT!!!! How do they possibly think that they are going to get away with this without any type of sanctions…Of course they probably don´t care, what the rest of the world thinks…)

The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama urged respect for democracy in Honduras and said it recognized only Zelaya as constitutional president…Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez said that in conjunction with his allies, the coup in Honduras would be aborted… Chávez threatened military action if another president was appointed… Mexico’s government also expressed concern over the political crisis in Honduras and expressed its willingness to help by promoting dialogue to resolve the crisis… (Comment: Who would of thought…Obama, Chavez and Calderón seem to agree on something… However, watch out… Chavez may use this as a perfect excuse to finally divide the continent with military action….Obama and Calderon will be in a very uncomfortable situation. They will not support a coup d´état, but…they will not allow Chavez to invade another nation…mmmmm…very interesting dilemma…)

huge blast in America 's army.
Mr Zelaya was removed from office because he chose to believe he was above the law. He forgot that power in Honduras is equally divided between three branches and openly defied the decisions of the other two.
Things are going about normally in Honduras. No violence, no tanks, no repression.
We just hope that the rest of the world does not interfere with this change.
I do not like how Zelaya was removed, but I feel it was the only way.
LA ESTAFA AUTOMOTRIZ MAS GRANDE DE MEXICO!
alerta para NO caer victima!

I am an EUA transplant who has an interest in most things concerning Latin America. I've been following what's been happening in Honduras for several weeks, and must say that I am bothered by what is being reported by most of the world press. It appears the country and its strange President have been discovered overnight.
Coup? I don't think so. One of the best descriptions I have read was in, of all places, the WSJ. Here's the link. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124623220955866301.html#mod=article-outset-box
This was not an overnight event. It was brought on by the President himself. This was not a coup by the military.
