Good, take that fool out of there? And when they do, they should ask him what the devil did he think he was doing. Zelaya, why is your power so important to you? And don’t give me that “I’m here for the people” BS. We’re not all stupid. We know how wealthy you are. But you werent ready to spread that wealth were you?

Zelaya has shown the US State Department how unstable and dangerous he is. By returning Zelaya has finally done what no amount of explaining by the Honduran govermant could do. He has show why Honduras is better without him. Presure was mounting on the SUS State Department but it was Zelaya that broke the last straw. The US will remove him from the country and he will fade away like the bad memory he is. Zelaya’s return was a last act of desperation. Now foreign governments know that there will be no huge uprising at his return. Just a few vandals destroying other Honduran’s property.

Once he leave the embassy, he is nothing more than a wanted fugitive from justice.
I pray that the Honduran police will seize thier chance and grab him when the chance arrises.
This man is putting all Honduran’s in danger, and his game needs to stop NOW!!!!
Zelaya seems to think that he is above the law, and the Honduran officials need to arrest him, have a trail, and send this dictator want-to-be to the prison cell that he deserves!!!

There has to be a dialogue. Enough is enough. All of this is such a shame for the world and The aggression they have shown about this little country in Central America. Shame on Insulza for siding with Alba, Shame on Oscar Arias for creating an impossible pact. Shame on the United States for siding with totalitarian enemies and not taking the opportunity to try to resolve, instead of worsening the democratic crisis in many countries of Latin America. Shame on Brazil for allowing to be host of violence in Honduras.
The good thing is that all of this will be over very soon. Hondurans will be known for their resilence to stand up to the neo-communists in Latin America.

My mother is from Honduras, and I know that the Hondurian people don’t deserve what is happening there. I am proud of them because they have not allowed this man to make them servants of a leftist tyran. It is well known in Honduras the type of reputation he has. It is time for the United States to let this country take control of their lifes. By withholding aid to the country they have collaborated and support the ego of the governants of other countries that masacre their own people. I pray that this is taken care of for the sake of the Hondurian people. TAKE THAT MAN OUT!

The US isn’t kidding anyone. They want Zelaya so that they can parade him before the UN and seek world condemnation for tossing a wannabe dictator. Honduras has stood up for it’s constitution and rule of law. It has to be a reflection on Mr. Obama’s administration that he would sponsor another socialist/communist dictatorship in Latin America rather than recognize a long time ally and support Honduran democracy. Viva Honduras

Due to the flagrant violation of the International Laws by Brazil for allowing Mr. Zelaya to set headquarters in their Embassy in Honduras, all CASUALTIES will be attributed to Brazil, USA, OAS, SPAIN, CHAVEZ AND ALL MEMBERS OF A.L.B.A. Only a few support Zelaya’s diabolic ideals and, this very few are the vandals destroying private the private properties around the Capital of Honduras.

If my country is to be the good guy in this, then they will take Micheletti and his regime. We can find a place for them in our prisons.
The golpistas are enemies of the people and democracy. They have flipped out.
11 Rob // Sep 23, 2009 at 4:39 pm
US, shut up!!
12 Uncle Sam // Sep 23, 2009 at 4:52 pm
The truth will set you free Rob. The truth will inevitably set us all free. The human family is very dysfunctional, but that is changing my boy.
The richest 1% of the people cause about 98% of the problems. They must be dealt with by changing constitutions and laws.
It is time to outlaw extreme greed. It is time for living wages, not minimum wages. Time for democracy, not oligarchy.
Oligarchy stinks like a dead cow. It can not be revived. Let it go!
The golpistas can silence many voices but not all of them. The world knows that they are hiding the truth and forcing people in the Honduras to shut up. That is not democracy.
The world as they’ve come to know it is now ending. They are destined to lose this battle.
Their fight against truth and the will of the people is as hopeless as trying to stop the sun from rising.
U.S.
!Viva democracy!

US, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money. By the way, people don’t work for poor people. They work for wealthy people my boy. When was the last time you worked for someone poor? Did you skip your math classes? It shows by your lack of economic knowledge. Its why the Soviet Union FAILED and is no longer. US, you poor, poor boy. Educate!!!
14 JasonElCatracho // Sep 23, 2009 at 5:55 pm
US, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money. By the way, when was the last time you worked for a poor person? If you penalize the successful, then why do children attend school? Why should they aspire to be successful? Your just gonna penalize them for using their brains and attempting to realize their dreams. When did you last work for a poor person? You must not have done so well in math my boy. Poor US, we’re not so stupid and socialist like you can’t hold us down.
15 Esteban // Sep 23, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Uncle Sam is one of those people on the left that love to tell us how to run our democrcy since, for good reason, they are excluded from the government in the US. We are well aquainted with the type. They foster a kind of imperialism.
Since they cannot convince their own countrymen to accept their veiws they like to go South thinking that brown skinned people will aknowlege their superiority and accept their wise counsel. Afterall, they know so much better than us what is best. They believe that we do not need the rule of constitutionl law. After all , if they could get near the seats of power in their own country they would rewrite their own Constitution in a way to enrich themselves from the work and property of others. They want to satisfy their ambitions and curiosity here in Honduras. They believe that Hondurans are ignorant and need instruction in what is best for them.
It does not matter that their hopes have proven to be ruinous to the economy and opresive to the liberties of the people in Cuba and Venezuela. They will argue that those were flawed experiments. They will say to themselves “lets try one more time. If only we can get those naive Hondurans to let us experiment.”
Hondurans do not be fooled by those that profess love for us but only want power. Continue, as the majority of you have , to trust in our institutions. They have work well for the common good these last 27 years and they have preserved us from the power mad Zelaya. In a short time our Constitution and institutions will prevail as well against all these failsed prophets of a false ideal.

Brazil made big mistake by helping facilitate Zelaya’s return to Honduras. The interim government was on track to holding presidential elections in November while preserving peace, tranquility and prosperity. The interim government also promised the majority of the constituents of Honduras to uphold the rule of law and preserve the countries democracy.
A grave mistake by Brazil for allowing the return of ex-president Zelaya. The majority of Honduras citizens want peace not violence.

Be sure to see this cartoon. It is worth a thousand words:
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/3450/what-some-us-reporters-dont-get-about-brazil-and-honduras-crisis
JasonElCatracho – the wealthy of the Honduras and the US and Latin America have become too greedy. They take too much for granted. We are going into a new era of human rights, with power going to the people. The wealthy must accept that they must pay their workers LIVING wages, not minimum wages. If they insist on being too greedy, maybe all the workers will go on strike and they’ll have to sell their businesses to the people.
The old ways will no longer work. The golpistas are finished. They are like humpty dumpty. They have had a great fall, and all of their horses and all of their men sonny boy, won’t be able to get their sorry arses up and in power again.
18 Uncle Sam // Sep 23, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Mr. JasonElCatracho -
I should add that Social democracy is working very well in Europe, Canada, Australia & New Zealand. All of the workers get paid a LIVING wage, not a minimum wage, they ALL get around 6 or 7 weeks of PAID vacation a year, regardless of the level of their job (even restauarant dishwashers get that benefit).
All the people there have health care and the governments are truly FOR the people.
Unbridled greed is without a doubt, a recipe for disaster. Look at what it has done to the world economy. Too many speculators got used to making money out of thin air. THose days are finished.
Don’t worry about it because after the capitalist dominated economy totally collapses, from the ashes we’ll build a new economy that is fair for everyone. The old one that is collapsing now was designed for and by the rich. They were all playing with loaded dice. No mas amigo. No mas.

Para Tio Samuel!
I have done business in Miami with a couple of those elite oligarchy whatever you want to call them. I have the utmost respect for them. They and there families got where they are at after being persecuted and left with nothing.
They did it by passing down great values and generations of hard work.
Zelaya can not say he did that or anything close. Zelaya family did it as a Mafia.
I feel sorry for the poor people because he is using them. He would like to see a riot where 1000 people or more are killed. he might even let some of his own do some of the killing to make it look worse.
I admire my hard working elite customers. They own large retail outlets,malls and fast food chains. Once in my office in Miami, one of them was very tired. He told me how hard he worked the past two weeks buying goods and traveling. I do similar work and it is hard work. It is not a vacation.
He was an elderly fellow and asked him why he did not retire? He certainly could easily retire and live a good rich life in another country. With that in mind, if he did not stay in Honduras he would not have to worry about lazy criminals trying to kidnap him or his family.
His answer was one to admire for a life time. He told me that his country was a poor country but he loved the country and the people rich,middle and poor. He told me he would keep working, risking and investing until he was too sick to work, died or every person in his country that wanted to work had a job!
Do you know what people like Chavez and Zelaya do once the poor rebels help them gain control of a Democratic country and make it communist? Keep in mind they lie and cheat to accomplish there goals. Also, keep in mind that Chavez has already done it. They take the rich peoples property and business. They live the good life. They ruin the economy. They become addicted to there power. The rich are now poorer and therefore so are the poor. They never make good on there promise to the poor. They forget the poor. They just keep looking for ways to make more power and they stop at nothing until they are killed or go crazy. They ruin the lives of there followers for generations to come.
I know that is not what you want to hear because you are just doing leftist propaganda work but I really wrote it for others to find out the truth. Good luck I will pray for you to one day make it to repentance and join God’s Spiritual followers.

Communist are very power greedy and abusive. To remain in power they silence the opposition. They control the media. They jail and kill people that have other views. They certainly do not allow for oppositions to have peaceful demonstrations. The people that support Mel have no problem conducting peaceful demonstrations. If that is all they did nobody would stop them. The problem is they have very few educated followers with good values. They pay people to joint them.They bring in foreigners and young punks and get them drunk. They carry rocks, sticks, molotov cocktails, light fires, resort to violent demonstations etc………Many of them do not even know we have laws and a constituion. They can demonstrate. Do not violate others rights and do it peacfully. I like to listen views from both sides. I listen to Maldonado and radio Globo and Cholusat. I must say it is disappointing because I rarely hear any well thought out arguments or logic that make sense. I look for some inkling of enlightment everyday but it just does not exist on those channels. I only see poor leadership taking advantage of the poor for there own skewed selfish agenda.
I am skeptical but hopeful that Honduran politicians will learn a great lesson in this terible tragedy facing there country today. There are great lessons for both sides which are filled with fellow brothers, family members and human beings that are alllove by God. I hope in the future politics change and start to unite to truly do not what is best for them and a few lempiras,but, for the good of all the people in the country. No more red and blue party. Time to forget the past and look at the hearts. Select the one taht is true in his heart which may require looking into there background. No more drug dealing, college dropout, Mafia timber controllers with parents that have been tied to murders.
When those leaders are selected it is your duty to lead from your heart for your people. If that is not your desire then do not look for such a big responsibility. Open a business instead.
God Bless all the Hondurans on both sides of the crisis any foreigners that are following the story

Uncle Sam, I hear you talking about communism, but I don’t hear you talking about how Zelaya was running drugs. $60,000,000 in his office on a $150,000 salary. Humm…. He would have had to be president 400 yrs to make that much.

24 Rob // Sep 24, 2009 at 12:22 am
Hey US when you talk that a social democracy is working in Europe and elsewhere, its mostly only their health care system, which they pay high income taxes on, a single payer system, which I believe seems to work very well for them. The economic sector is all based on rich ppl who hire ppl to work for them, thats the capitalist formula my son. He who has the means comes out ontop.
Also those European countries are all part of a common wealth and are countries with rich economies. Honduras could never support a single payer system because 70% of the ppl dont pay income taxes.
And maybe ur right, 1% of the population controls the country and are rich beyond our dreams, but that also includes the Zelaya family. Honduras is a small country with a population of only 7million, 1million who live outside the country. So can you really blame 7 or 8 families to control the economy, these rich ppl give the poor ppl jobs, jobs drive an economy.
I think you have alot to learn kid, and the fact that you mostly copy and paste your replies gives you no credit. I could go on but Im done wasting my time.

All we have to do now is let the USA take him from Honduras, but also to make sure that they are taking him away so the disturbances and violence end in Honduras, not to try again to insert him into power.
The results of an investigation launched by the American Congress shows that Honduras did not act illegally when removing Zelaya, so now we have to ask Mr. Obama and Ms. Clinton to respect our decision not to have Zelaya back.
The numbers say it all, if the majority of the people of Honduras really wanted him, he would have had much more support when he was back in there.
As to all those that believe that Socialism is a solution, you should not only see how well the workers are doing but also how those countries economies are failing,; You can only feed underproductive workers for free for so long, then you run out of money, the laws of nature do not change, resources are limited and it is expensive to develop them.

Uncle Sam, you definetlly seem to be trying to confuse things, must be working for Chavez, what is it, are provoking people to attack that all american symbol “Uncle Sam” by using that name and then talking like “Uncle Joe” (Stalin)?
Honduras is attacked by the Obama administration, not by the American people.
Get your story straight, Honduras majority of people does not agree with you in wanting Socialism to run our country, mostly it does not work well at all, and the few countries that have adopted it are going broke little by little due to overspending on the lazy people that want to depend on the money of the ones that work hard.
32 Axel Reyes Bogran // Sep 24, 2009 at 9:22 am
The Honduran government should inquire as to why do the current American Administration want to have Zelaya shipped over to their Embassy in Honduras.
Do they still believe him inocent even after their own Congress has come to the conclusion that Honduras did not break any laws when he was legally removed from office.
It is amazing how thickly socialists stick toguether, even after all the smoke screens have cleared up and it has become evident that Zelaya did not have the backing of the majority of Hondurans, they still want to protect him.
Do not let him out, all they want to do is to find a way to play him as a victim and keep on putting pressure on Honduras.
Obama & Hillary should be ashamed, they have left all decency to the side and simply supported somebody with whom they (and not the people they represent) share ideologies.
33 martinez6070 // Sep 24, 2009 at 9:58 am
uncle sam gusseing your a socialsit you love it so much move to Venezuela. as always your not infomed pls note that the Obama admistrion ingonared the report by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) which states “Available sources indicate that the judicial and legislative branches applied constitutional and statutory law in the case against President Zelaya in a manner that was judged by the Honduran authorities from both branches of the government to be in accordance with the Honduran legal system,” as such the US is backing the wrong team but that is not surprising as a major part of team Obama is socialist. and no i’m not a racist…

My only concern is that Uncle Sam might go unanswered. I needn’t have worried. The majority of your corespondents have answered him much better than I.
After all, like many people from his country, his ignorance is profound but his opinions are invincible. When he says things like “social democracy is working very well in Europe, Australia, Canada & New Zealand” , he ignores the fact that social democracy in these lands is the consequence of wealth not the cause of it. And Honduras is poor.
When he says “after the capitalist dominated economy totally collapses” he reveals himself as sharing the dream of all the Marxist/Leninists. But he ignores the fact that the economies of the Soviet Union colapsed in 75 years and Cuba in 46 years.
He also will not acknowledge that successful social democracies are not established by destroying Constitutions. They do not rest on the rule of a dictator. They are not marked buy lawlessness and looting.
In short he is a pathetic example of a type that will never gain power in their own land. So they want to experiment on US.
