Protesters ignored the curfew imposed by the Government due to Mel Zelaya’s presence at the Brazilian embassy. Fires burned in the streets, numerous cars suffered smashed windows, were stripped, and had deep dents from being beaten, tires were slashed. Police have had to tow numerous vehicles from the scene amongst trash from the crowd which was everywhere.
Teargas canisters were released. Police spokesman said force had to be used to disperse the protesters, and that the curfew remained in effect until Tuesday evening.

I hope you are watching this Ms. Clinton.
This has been your gift to the law abiding people of Honduras.
We know that you are aware that we do not want the ‘Dictator in Training’ Zelaya back in power.
That he is rejected by a majority is a well documented fact.
That he broke Constitutional Law is also a documented fact.
You pushing for his restoration to power goes against all rules of decency and democracy.
We will come ahead, but you have sentenced a very poor country to suffer the added missery of brothers fighting brothers over something that was already taken care of.
Yours has been a very selfish move, using the power behind you to imposse upon the Honduran people something they already had very openly rejected.
Thank you for nothing.
The blood of Honduras will be used to write your name in the History Books,

Now somehow this has to be resolved… Pray that it is done peacefully. It is time for Hondurans to show the world how to uphold democracy, treat each other fairly and how they would want to be treated, and create a more stable example of an active, true democracy where all are represented.

Democracy has to be upheld in honduras…..their is no other way around it. Zelaya must be turned over to honduras authorities at once.

SINCE Zelaya is violating international law by acitng in such a way as to cause insurrection, rioting, and violence – pray that the Honduran government will tell Brazil they are giving them 3 hours to hand him over. But if they don’t, due to his ongoing illegal activity which will cause great damage to Honduras, they will go in and seize him.

Know that even as the majority of Honduras is not in favor of Zelaya being restored to power, the majority of those in America who have taken the time to become knowledgeable of the crisis in Honduras, are totally OUTRAGED by the actions so far on the part of Obama and Clinton. It is known that Obama is a socialitst, but sad to see Cllinton acting as his mindless, obedient, subservient puppet. God, forgive the USA for this stupid behavior which has harmed and continues to harm Honduras.

The best thing that could happen in Honduras right now is unity between Liberals and Nationals.
Pepe and Santos have a unique opportunity to forever become heroes of the nation. They should shake hands and agree that the loser of the election becomes the other candidates vice president and then form a unity government.
How could the international community reject that kind of freely elected government?
Then change the government to have the following.
More Transparency
More Accountability.
