The Dictator was overthown by people who want freedom and Obama called a "Illegal Coup" and he denouced it. I guess Obama would have called the fighers that kicked the Brits out of our country called the Revolutionary War and he would denounce that too.

Definitely interesting to say the least. Why the obama admin would take the side of a leftist president who has been kicked out by the supreme court and congress is beyond me(actually its not. Obama is a leftist him self no matter what you blind obama lovers have to say). At the very least wait to take sides. The support he is giving to Zelaya could be very damaging.

It was a military coup that has been denounced by most of Latin America and the U.N. There are people in the streets protesting the coup and supporting the ousted leader. The new military installed an indefinite curfew and shut down all media sources. That doesn't sound like too much of people movement for freedom to me.
"My country has lost its democratic form of government," said Jorge Arturo Reina, Honduras' ambassador to the U.N.
So please tell me who is supporting this?

Is most of Latin America Chavez and a few other leftist leaders? Being supported by Chavez and his ilk should be more then enough to raise an eye brow or two at Zelaya.

Guilt by association. Right [rolleyes]
Who is supporting the coup of freedom that you are in favor of?

Damn straight guilt by association. People who support communism are just as guilty as those(Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, etc.) who helped spread communism. IMO all those little dumb asses who wear USSR shirts or CHE shirts are as guilty as those who locked people away in political prisons or executed people because they did not support the big dream/lie.
And who is in favor? Honduran Supreme Court, Honduran Congress, Many Hondurans, Honduran military, etc. etc.
What would we have done here if Bush just decided to stay in office?
Is it a coup?
The former President Zelaya called for an unconstitutional referendum that would allow him to stay in power for more than one term. Both the Supreme Court and the Legislature upheld the Constitution. Zelaya attempted to hold the referendum anyway going as far as firing the top commander. The Supreme Court ordered the military to arrest him. The court also appointed an interim President until elections could be held later this year.
Sounds like checks and balances at this point.
Anyway, it's funny to watch Obama withhold judgment on Iran and North Korea, but then come down HARD on a tiny Latin American country.

Welcome back, kbiz.
I think "mindblowing" might be a better word for Obama's actions.
The media wants to call it a coup because of the negative connotations. If they call it a coup, people will think it's bad.
Zelaya had a complete disregard for the law. He was lookin' to do what Chavez did.
I'm baffled by Obama's stance.

No, I think Obama will fail as well, but I am willing to give him a chance first before I start bashing him.

I'm trying -- but I just can't care about this right now. It seems irrelevant to me.

You should read about it. I'd be interested to hear your view.

I started to read about it, but I do so much reading that when i'm not really into a topic, I give it up quickly. For some reason, that area of the world never really interested me.
