Zelaya’s plane attempted to land, and was turned around by the airforce. A flight plan was not filed, permission was not requested to land, therefore it was not granted. Aeronautical law does not allow any flight to land anywhere without requesting permission. If it is an emergency landing, permission must still be asked, declaring it is an emergency. Permission to land will then be granted, and the emergency situation analyzed after landing.

Viva Honduras!
Finally a country and government with “balls”. Nothing like Obama’s sociliast government.

To hell with the current adminstration. The people of the United States stand with the Honduran people.

The Houndurian Government made a courageous decision to oust Zelaya from office before it is too late. They stood up to preserve their countries constitution and respect the Houndurian Citizens rights.
Zelaya was leanning more towards Hugo Chavez style of ruling which will eventually lead to a dictator style of ruling. Cuba(dictatorship), Bolivia, Venezuela are starting to become examples of Cuba.
A referndum to change a countries constitution to extend a President’s term does not fall under the term “Democracy”.

A severe blow dealt to Hugo Chavez & Iranian influence in the region. God Bless the courageous Hondurian Army for preserving their constitutional rights.

Pro-Democracy supporters should protest in support of their interm President, Government and their Army for preserving their countries constitution. They should reject Zelaya’s return to Honduras. Democracy is the future for the people of Honduras.

Zelaya was a corrupt man who was planning to nationalize all private business, banks, & strip away people’s freedom. He was working in coordination with Hugo Chavez to nationalize all private business sectors under Hondurian Government control. He was planning to forcefully take away the business of a hard working Hondurian Citizen and place it under government control. He was planning to become the next powerful dictator of Honduras next to Hugo Chavez.
It is also beleived that Zelaya was involved in Cocaine trafficking through Latin America. He is under investigation by Hondurian Police as evidence has proven of his involvement in the drug trade.
Is this the President that Honduras Citizens want for their country? Zelaya is not a man for “Democracy”, but rather a “Dictator” waiting to happen.

Este golpe es peligroso para la democracia de Honduras, por la razon de que todos los poderes del estado estan manipulados por el senor Micheletti. Me preocupa que el diga que sigue la constitucion cuando en verdad las acciones tomadas muestran lo contrario.

El golpe no es peligrosa en absoluto. Es la mejor solución para Honduras. Zelaya iba a cambiar la constitución para extender su Presidencia. Esto no es democracia. La celebración de elecciones anticipadas como la Interm la democracia es el gobierno prometió para el pueblo hondureño.

Todos repudiamos los golpes de estado, soy una persona que creció con una dictadura y la represión que conlleva, pero lo que paso en Honduras no es más que una respuesta al autoritarismo impuesto por Chaves en su país, todos los días reprime a su gente, y la comunidad internacional no hace nada… quiere que el resto de América tenga un estilo de gobierno pasado de moda, con la teoría de que todo es del estado y si piensas diferente….viene y te estatiza todo….no hay libertad de en Venezuela y (quieren exportar el modelito) la OEA HACE LO QUE DICE Chaves, o más bien el señor Insulza después de los insultos de Chaves se transformo en un títere….hablan de oligarquías jajajajj…yo creo que está en juego la libertad de pensar, ser y poseer….esta izquierda del nuevo siglo o siglo XXI como le llaman no es más que Marx maquillado para dar el zarpazo del Jaguar ……o se olvidaron de los miles de indefensos que murieron exiliados en Siberia??????? Y de los que en estos momentos sufren en caracas….leeean y veeean que está pasando con EL PUEBLO DE VENEZUELA

I hope this situation does not prolong, because the ones that will suffer are the poor people of Honduras.
I support the government 100%
As an Honduran I say we don’t want a dictator!

gracias ala fuersa armada hondurena por la valentia adelante defiendan nuestra constitucion por el pueblo y al congreso legislativo
14 Bill Whatcott // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:22 pm
God Bless the Honduran people!
You were right to expel your wannabe dictator for life.
I am not surprised the pseudo Saviour Obama is siding with Chavez rather than the majority of Hondurans.
15 Silver // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I agree with ‘Unknown’; the Honduran people–including the congress and senate, acted in accordance to their democratic constitution regarding the matter of their deposed president.
16 Sorata // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:37 pm
I wanted to thank everyone for their support!! Reading this has brought tears to my eyes. God Bless you!

Zelaya’s future plan was exposed by the Honduran Army and members of the Government. His warming up to Chavez in recent years was a sign to the Honduran Citizens that Zelaya was planning to establish his dictator base in Honduras just like Chavez & Morales are doing. Unfortunately, the idea was terminated right from the start.
This is a major BLOW to HUGO CHAVEZ!!!!!

Me parece mentira que la OEA infuenciada por Chaves y compañia quieran poner de regreso al
titere de Mel Zelaya, como es posible que apoyen al comunismo, donde esta USA, espero que no sea como el gobierno nefasto de Carter.
Felicito a los Hondureños que son los unicos que dijeron no al grupo Chavez, Morales, los Castro, etc

Javier,I guess a Communist country like Cuba and Venezuela ,whose people live in the most miserable way,actually,only surviving,from day to day,while the governments fill their pockets and their stomacks,is better than the US.
You must be one of the privileged ones,or someone did a job on your brain!!!!
