Then why are YOU Mr. Arias FORCING Zelaya onto Honduras DESPITE HIM being REMOVED CONSTITUTIONALLY from office by the Honduran Supreme Court and National Congress? Are you aware that Mr. Zelaya had COURT ORDERS TO SUSPEND HIS 'ENCUESTA'? What would happen to the USA President if he DISOBEYED A USA Supreme COURT ORDER? “Democracy is a system that defends institutions, not people,” Arias said……I agree!

"It is a system that cares about the rules of the game, not its protagonists. Or, according to the famous phrase of John Adams, it is the government of laws and not of men. It is very easy to respect the rights of those who think the same way we do. Defending the rights of those who think differently — that is the real challenge of democracy."If he said that, then why is he trying to FORCE Zelaya onto Honduras since he was removed by the other 2 powers of government-Supreme Court and Congress? Doesn't he realize the statements above defend the Institutions-Congress and Courts, but NOT Mr. Zelaya?

There was no coup. And if Zelaya had not been removed, what would be happening now is that instead of a presidential election, Honduras would be having a referendum on violating the constitution and the votes would already have been counted to create another permanent "president."The Obama Administration's stance towards Honduras is unwarranted and unsupported by the facts. Obama will bully little Honduras, but won't "interfere" with Iran slaughtering its citizens in the street because he wants to meet with the mullahs' representatives. Obscene behavior, but a fair warning to our allies of how quickly the liberal knife will be sunk into their backs. Just ask Israel.
