I suggest you read what Genesis 11 has to say; he's someone who lives there. BTW: I lived in Honduras for two years, so I know all about the politics there. It does no good to be partisan on either side. Obviously, you're a partisan on the left who doesn't consider Chavez a problem, but the US is a problem. I've heard it all before...that's why we get the partisanship that we do. Democracy Now has an agenda just like any other media organization. I listened to their show in Spanish in July, and it was very one-sided.

Ando; Respectfully, I would like to reply that the general consensus on the political right side of things in the U.S. is as you describe. The left seems to think that he was doing things like raising the minimum wage for the poor and had tried to get a national vote on whether the citizens would want to change their constitution to allow citizens to vote whether they would allow another term for him. He had upset the political right/ business community there and had to go. As far as Chavez meddling in their country, that's very likely true, but we could accuse the U.S. Government of the same thing.
Those are the 2 sides to this situation as I have been able to determine. Of course I am not there. My sources being Democracy Now news, Truthout.org and a couple of other places. As far as I can tell the mainstream media in the U.S. is mostly ignoring this.

I think he's mentally unstable. Manipulation is often part of the problem with someone exhibiting signs of mental illness. Unfortunately his antics may be very costly. And our government has no small part in this mess. He would not have had the courage to return without the tacit approval of our government.

Do you think Zelaya is playing on the emotions of his supporters? It looks like they tend to be younger and perhaps more easily swayed? Or perhaps he's playing to the emotions the rest of the world, to "earn" their sympathy.

The general consensus is that the government had every right under Honduran law to take the actions that they did against Zelaya. The government also had a right to be very suspicious of tampering from foreigners such as Hugo Chavez, who wants to advance his personal agenda throughout Latin America.

Just in from La Tribuna, the major newspaper in Tegucigalpa. Zelaya issued this statement: The deposed president, Manuel Zelaya, said he is "totally healthy" and has no intentions of committing suicide despite being taken refuge in the Brazilian embassy." Many of us have serious concerns about his mental stability and his ability to govern. Why would he issue such a statement if he is not a bit unstable?

Soldiers did not enter the embassy. That's a rash statement. It's true that Zelaya stood on the rooftop of the Brazilian embassy and shouted to the crowd: Patria, Resistancia, or Muerte. Fatherland, Resistance or Death. I work here in Tegu too. He also asked for the country to meet him there at the embassy to take back the country from the dictators, ie. the interim government. In order to prevent recklessness on the part of his followers, the curfew was issued. Let's look at both sides, please. Zelaya told the BBC he came in peace, and immediately started with rash words. Thankfully, no one has yet to be killed in the latest round of events.

I am very disappointed in the White House's response to this situation. Most of the rest of the world authorities have condemned this as a military coup. Our Government seemed to do very little until forced by world opinion to do so. A former president spoke of spreading democracy, but this happens and we are doing very little to discourage it; Some withdrawl of financial support to the country, again, once the majority opinion pushed it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There have been no reports of any attempt by Honduran authorities to enter the Brazilian embassy. However:

At least two tear-gas canisters landed inside the embassy compound, Reuters reported, and Mr. Zelaya said in a television interview with Telesur, a Venezuelan broadcaster, that he foresaw “bigger acts of aggression and violence” by the de facto government and possibly even an invasion of the Brazilian embassy.

A couple of errant tear-gas canisters, fired to disperse the mob of Zelaya supporters and apparently getting into the embassy grounds, hardly seems an act of “aggression and violence.” According to Mr. Zelaya, in an interview with Telesur:

Interim authorities were cutting off all supplies to the embassy. “I think they are going to employ a strategy of asphyxiating the embassy by surrounding it, cutting off the food supply, asphyxiating the people inside in order to demonstrate their force and power, and to try and humiliate the people in here who are really trying to find a solution, for dialogue at a national level.”

There have been no reports of arrests or injuries, and aside from Mr. Zelaya’s comments broadcast on Venezuelan Telesur, there has been no sign of any cut off of the Brazilian embassy. Had there been, the Brazilian government would most likely have condemned it; there have been no reports that it has done so.

"soldiers entered the Brazilian embassy "

Even the Honduran Government is not that stupid to raid a foreign embassy but last reports were that they had it surrounded.

My advise... stay safe at all costs..your not doing anyone any good by getting arrested or shot.
