”Insulza did not come here to negotiate; he came here to impose,” José Danilo Izaguirre, the Supreme Court spokesman stated.
Honduras withdrew its membership from the OAS, after a visit by Insulza, the General Secretary, of the OAS, for proposing “undignified and unilateral resolutions” in their case, demanding that Honduras give up its fight for independence by reinstating ex-President Manuel Zelaya.
Honduran officials agreed it would be best to have 6 months of sanctions while elections are held, than to lose their independence.

I Agree!
No matter what the U.S. (Obama and Hillary), the World, or OAS says. If the Honduran Government has EVIDENCE that this man, Zelaya, is corrupt and has attempted to become a dictator, siding with Hugo Chavez – thus, threatening the democracy and people of the country – then… I agree, it would be better to have 6 sanctions from the OAS.
Hondurans deserve to protect its democracy and people from dictators who wants to rule by force and “fire” whoever they want to “fire”
On the other hand, the Government of Honduras could launch another election to see if the people want Zelaya reinstated. But if he is reinstated, still impeach him with the EVIDENCE made public to the people. The people of Honduras ought to have thier voices heard and “see” the EVIDENCE fof themselves. At the same time, the Government of Honduras, should apologize to the people for the way the handle the situation. They should have never banished their own President out of the country who was democratically elected by the people. They should have impeached him instead and democratically called for another election. On the other hand, many Hondurans are releived that this man is gone from power, because his intentions was to become a dictator. I think the world, U.S. and OAS need to consider what this man’s intentions were
Anywayz… that’s my 2-cent!
Peace

I have Honduras’ friends and they are happy for the resolution taken by the Legislative and Judicial branches of their country. Good for them. I think it is time that Chavez & Co are shut up by their own people.
Mexico is another example of stepping on Chavez’s neck. He wanted to do the same when he tried to impose Obrador (ladrador is his Mexican nickname) as a Mexican president.
Why is it that the ONU and the OEA do not interfere in the big dictatorial problems in Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc? The ONU and the OEA are bull shit. They do not really care for the big problems of those nations.
I do not like politics. But I am fed up with the communism that is good for nothing and doesn’t help the needy people. I cannot believe that in the 21st Century there are still people that believe in such nonesense.

Good for you Pat, Bella and Judy. Well said. I agree as well. However I don’t know if impeachment is a process that can happen in Honduras. I don’t think it is written into their chatter. I to agree and it is my opinion that Chavez is the main instigator of all this. His venomous tongue and his twisting of the truth will someday catch up to him and hopefully his brother the devil will finally put him in his place one day. I would say that most of the pro Zalaya people are the one’s that Chavez has paid a great some of money to cause the unrest or he has paid people has snuck into the country. I commend the Honduran court and Congress for the actions they took. I have friends here in the US that have family there and they all say what a crook this Zalaya was. Based on what I have read he has drained the Honduran Treasury of millions of dollars either for his own pleasure or to support his relatives and friends. Millions of dollars that could have helped the poor and to create jobs so the country can emerge from proverty.
Good luck to all of the Honduran people and God be with you.

Extreme action at extreme times, When the president defies the courts and treads the path of dictator, choices come hard. Congraulations and support to the people in Honduras. To stand independent when outsiders threaten you with sanctions. Stand proud, and may your next election go well, for a freely elected leader.

Honduras is very wise to have broken away from the OAS which should stand for peaceful resolution of conflicts instead of listening to countries like Venezuela that have called for an armed invasion of Honduras to restore an unpopular, corrupt castro-communist president to power. Hondurans were following their constitution and their own ways. The OAS has lost its credibility, especially after passing just a few days ago a resolution for peace in the continent. Stay away from Honduras and its democracy, OAS, and pay attention to totalitarianism and populism that is growing wild in Latin America.

.Iam from honduras I am very happy that crazy zelaya is out because he wants to be like hugo chavez and we don’t wantto let him do that

Maybe it’s time the rest of the world recognized the fact that Honduras wants a democracy and not the world of Chavez. If our leaders spoke out of the front of their mouths instead of the sides, and tell the truth we would all be better off. It’s time we left Honduras alone and started on the real villain, Chavez. The Honduran Constitution has spoken and we need to shut up.

You only rent this country from democracy. The military will fall, as imperialism cannot stop the popular will of the people.
Victory to the Honduran people, down with the CIA coup !

It is interesting that the Rich and white Hondurans support the Gorilletti government.
Honduras just shows it is still a Banana Republic!
