  3. Zelaya is still the elected president of Honduras. The person who assumed his position got there based on booth a coup and a lie. Zelaya was bundled at gun point into a plane and dropped off in Costa Rica. Subsequently Honduran Congress was handed a forged letter perporting to be from the president indicating his resignation. He never signed that letter. Zelaya wanted the people to determine their own constitution not Honduran generals of yesteryear. On the day of the coup Zelaya was asking the people if they wanted a constitutional convention.

    Zelaya was bringing free health care from Cuba – the health care he had once requested from the US but was refused. He brought schools to every small town across the land.

    This is why the oligarchy overthrew him.

  4. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to justify Zelaya’s powergrab by bringing up “free Cuban healthcare and education”. Amazingly, it’s been two months, until Luke’s comment. A record!

  5. “He brought schools to every small town across the land” – oh, so you mean there weren’t any schools there until Zelaya came along.

    What planet do these people come from?

    For posting that, I think we should send Luke to Venezuela where:

    From Spain’s El Pais: It is a crime to protest in Venezuela

    Protesting in the streets of Venezuela is, from now on, synonymous with crime. The Venezuelan Attorney General Luisa Ortega, has announced it will open proceedings against all those citizens who “protest for any reason” and that in her opinion, only seek to “destabilize the constitutionally elected Government…..

  8. Sooo, Zelaya brought health and schools, what a joke….also he promise free scholarships and didn’t do it, and then he starts having problems with sindicates of teachers, taxi drivers, stibys, etc. suddenly he cames close to chavez and dollars start coming so he pays teachers bonuses, the taxi drivers bonuses and the stibys bonuses he practicaly bought these so called zelaya followers or melistas or resistence. This was the most corrupt goverment in history of Honduras.

  9. Si claro Luke… Zelaya was absent in his goverment for over 1 year, trying to put himself back in the presidential for 4 more years… he forgot of hunger, safety, security, he didn’t even show a budget for the year to the congress, because he believed that it wont be necesary animore, because he believed he was the Castro (or Chavez) of Central America… he was wrong…. No Zelaya in Honduras…No Chavez in honduras… yes.. we will suffer.. but is the best for our country.
