It seems even the people behind the coup know it was illegal (but still justified of course). The Honduran constitution and its specifications on term limits was clearly drawn up with the US's interests in mind and to protect any left wing leader from implementing too much change. To hide behind the constitution seems much more problematic than it initially appears.<br /><br />The irony is the coup has turned Honduras into more of a Cuba than anything Zelaya ever did. Like Cuba in the 60s, Honduras finds itself (even more) internationally isolated and threatened with invasion.gamusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863254096032296345.post-39628589096816989092009-07-04T18:32:22.296-05:002009-07-04T18:32:22.296-05:00Figgy, is there anything to the shutting down medi...Figgy, is there anything to the shutting down media and arrests of opposition?Ricknoreply@blogger.com
