    Zelaya was best got rid of ;
    he wasn't tortured, killed, disappeared - he was escorted off the premises when he attempted to circumvent the Constitution.

    Honduras is right to move on.
    With Free Trade Area status and a trade conduit to India, Singapore, China and Canada, with the right sort of leadership Honduras could, as an aspiration, seek to become the Singapore of South America.

    In time Mercosur/Unasur will seek to rationalise matters and, hopefully, Honduras will, through these new trading links, bring a lot to the table.

    In the mean time, the important thing is for the nation to keep the predator, Zelaya, out of harms way.

    For this commentator, there are “good” and “bad” dictators, presidents, countries, terrorists, etc. IT ONLY DEPENDS WHERE THEY ARE WITH OR AGAINST US (US-UK-EU-Israel), so.....what's the use of challenging so much rubbish. The tide will eventually reach commentators like him and the evil axis that he so vehemently supports. Good luck!

    How predictable: GeoffWard defends a coup d'état against a leftist Latin American president.

    No, Zelaya didn't circumvent anything. If his ouster was legal, why did military and the judiciary conspire to forge a resignation letter? And why did the US diplomat in Honduras write to the US Foreign Ministry that Zelaya's deposition was clearly a coup, even though his country adopted a very ambiguous stance on the matter?

    ”(...) [Zelaya] proposed to hold an advisory referendum as to whether the population thought it a good idea to convene a body to revise the constitution. The oligarchy shouted that this was an attempt by Zelaya to change the constitution to make it possible for him to have a second term. But since the referendum was to occur on the day his successor would have been elected, this was clearly a phony reason.”
