For Once, Hemispheric Unity

Unfortunately it comes at a high cost–the coup in Honduras.  I commend this article in The New York Times to any readers who may still have doubts about the legitimacy of toppling the Zelaya administration by military force.  In democracies, policy differences are resolved through elections.  And if a leader breaks the law, well, there are legal channels for handling that.  The fact that this coup had the apparent approval of court and congress makes little difference in the final analysis.  Those institutions aren’t above the law either.

UPDATE: Make that global unity?  The UN has also sided with Zelaya.

  1. Es verdad, ni el congreso ni los militares tienen el poder de sobrepasar la ley, ademas los pequeños grupos de poder no representan al pueblo en su totalidad.

    Cuando escucho hablar al presidente de facto Michelleti, me acuerdo de los integrantes de la media luna, aqui en Bolivia, utilizando siempre la violencia para evitar los cambios tan necesarios en nuestros paises latinos.

    Estamos en un momento importante de la historia de latinoamerica, y se dejara una enseñanza importante a los grupos de derecha de latinoamerica, para rectificar sus actos y dejar a un lado la violencia de una vez por todas.
