re: #181 albusteve

how do you commit personally?….BO insists it’s a coup…do you follow?

I agree with this comment about why BHO and the rest of the world is publicly speaking out, no country is praising the action, even it could be good news privately.

“But in this latest emergency, Obama may well need to do more than keep his cool. The U.S. recently argued that Cuba should be reinstated in the Organization of American States (which convened an emergency meeting over Honduras on Sunday) only when it demonstrates a commitment to democratic norms. Zelaya’s defiance of his Supreme Court may not have been the behavior of a leader who respects the rule of law; but when soldiers in Latin America haul a democratically elected President out of his palace and into exile, the U.S. has no choice in this day and age but to roundly condemn it. Not just to throw Washington’s hemispheric antagonists off base — but to keep the region’s military troglodytes from making a comeback.”
