Tegucigalpa, Honduras - Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya vowed to return to his country Thursday, apparently in the company of several international leaders. But the government that was installed after his ouster on Sunday insisted he "needs permission" to go back. Enrique Ortiz - the foreign minister of the government set up after the weekend coup d'etat - said Tuesday that the new rulers "respect Zelaya" but that he "needs permission to enter" the country. Zelaya said Monday in Managua that he would accept an offer from Jose Miguel Insulza, the secretary-general of the Organization of American States (OAS), to travel with him to Honduras Thursday. The government of Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner confirmed Tuesday in Buenos Aires that she would also accompany Zelaya on his return. The international community has refused to recognize designated president Roberto Micheletti, the former speaker of Congress.

Obama will not get involved as an Iranian dictaor kills his own people to stay in power, but is upset that a dictator has been thrown out of office in Honduras. He is very happy in the company of other dictaors like Chavez, Castro, the Saudi king. Do you think he might like the title dictator?

Beware and be aware that the main stream media is going to paint this as a coup d'etat in order to beguile the masses. Take note of which orginazations push this label and then shun them. You will not be able to trust anything they "publish". The Hondurans need our support and respect as their government acted as their Constitution told them to act. If this international show of support is allowed to circumvent their Constitution then we need to ask ourselves, who's next?

Roberto Micheletti is now recognized as the new Honduras President. All nations should send him congradulations for having replaced another Socialist/Communist dictator attempting to illegally push his stay in power without Constitutional authority. The Honduran courts, legislature and military were absolutely correct in ousting the criminal he was and in exporting Zelaya to Costa Rica where he can rot by himself.

The countries supreme court has backed this change in power saying that the ousted president was illegally trying to change the constitution. Sounds like it is an internal matter. Also interesting how quickly world bank and all the dictators have jumped in to support Zelaya. They are afraid it will set a bad example for their people to follow. Even the US is saying their supreme court is wrong. Hmmm I think Obama is worried this might set a bad example for US citizens.

He attempted to violate the Constitution, the legislature and Supreme Court both told him to stop, and when he didn't the Supreme Court ordered his arrest, which the army did bloodlessly. He should be glad they didn't execute him for treason and instead allowed him to go into exile.

He should be arrested for subversion as soon as he lands, regadless of who is with him. Otherwise, don't let the plane land.
Don't give these lawless socialists a platform to debase the constitution with. Treat him with respect, but put himright in jail. Shoot anyone trying to subvert the rule of law.
