O. has appologized to several nations for the United States of America, but he hasn't appologized to you. So please accept my sincere appology for what he has done to you and your country.

Not only does our president seem intent on destroying the economy in the US, but also the economies in other countries. Even ones who have traditionally been our allies. America used to stand up for democracy, constitutions and rule of law and now the current administration is going against everything that America has stood for. I feel ashamed. I visited Honduras several years ago and found such poverty, and just the idea that our government is suspending aid and threatening not to recognize the winner of the upcoming election just makes my heart ache to the point of breaking. Please do not give up. I am contacting my congressman and senator. Even though they just follow party(Democratic - what a joke, they should call themselves the Socialist party) lines, maybe if enough people let them know how we feel, it will start to make a difference.

There must be counter-balancing organs of democracy in a strong system and this is what we saw working as due process in Honduras (...the court and their Parliament giving direction before accountibility became effective). The military assisting in that process does not of itself make it a military coup. Obama has got it wrong and it will come to haunt him. If Zelaya had turned Honduras into a dictatorship what would Obama have done? Governing a country is a privilage of opportunity and trust bestowed by a majority of electors and should not be stolen from the people by devious and sutle betrayal of the people's trust.

The Honduran government acted according to its constitution. Zeyala openly, notoriously, & repeatedly attempted to circumvent that constitution. He ignored it & tried to get his Venezuelan printed ballots distributed to polling places. (I suppose Honduras has no printers so he had to have his friend Hugo Chavez {known for his radio station closings} to print those 'ballots' for him.) I admire & respect the people of Honduras. They stood up for their own written constitution that included restrictions on presidential term limits because they feared a socialist thug type would try one day to destroy their constitution republic. In short, they knew some thug would try to take away their freedoms. My next letter is to President Obama, which will probably put me on his 'fishy' list. One State Department employee said, Zeyala is the democratically elected president. That State employee failed to acknowledge that an election does not necessarily make a democracy. It takes a constitution & the ultimate will of the people, known as the electorate, to make a democracy. Perhaps President Obama fears that if he tried something like this in America, we too would oust him from office? I say, Zeyala is lucky the military ignored orders & allowed him to go into exile. Those same military officers now face Honduran courts because they did send him into exile rather than arrest & detain him for later trial by Honduran courts. That is what should have happened. Seems the military feared (with good reason), good ole Hugo Chavez would send in Venezuelan troops to really shut down democracy in Honduras using troops to silence any dissent like Chavez has done in his own country?!? I guess Hugo's anger is that his late night cocaine plane shipments into Honduras for trans-shipment to America, are no longer happening since real Hondurans have shut down the coke express. President Obama & State are on the wrong side on this one & probably many others!

This administration seems to be in favor of any dictatorship and seems to frown (to put it mildly) on democracies. The situation in Honduras was nothing more than the people taking back their government from an attempt by the then Honduran president to become a dictator, ala Chavez. Perhaps, the Obama administration has plans for the United States which more closely follow the actions of Chavez, Castro and others. The people of Honduras have, perhaps, reminded the Obama administration and the American people what could happen here. Not a good example for what the Obama administration may have in mind for us. We could rebell against a similar attempt by the Obama administration, per the Honduran example, and take back our country from the attempt of the present administration at establishing a dictatorship in a similar fashion. The direction which Obama and his cronies are heading this country looks very similar to other dictatorships in process of being set up. I encourage the people of Honduras to do whatever it takes to keep their democratic form of government, irregardless of what actions the Obama administration may take in the future. The Patriots of Honduras have the support of the true Patriots of the United States. God bless and keep the people of Honduras.
