    There are problems without solutions. Should we attack Burma, N. Korea, Honduras? Uh…. NO!

    He was a socialist anyway – too bad they didn’t make Hugo Chavez’ ouster stick – He’s the new Castro (which by most accounts is even worse than being the new Bush).

    I don’t think anyone wants the USA to attack. But diplomatic and economic pressure could and should be used.

    If a country’s people want to elect a socialist, that’s their right, at least according to those of us who believe in democracy.

    How many countries have Castro and Chavez invaded? I must’ve missed that.

    He altered their constitution so he could get re-elected.
    They were within their rights to throw him out.

    He didn’t alter the constitution, but he did something that was specifically forbidden by it. It’s not as simple as an “overthrow”. Also, in the second panel, it’s the US acting, but in the third, it’s an internal Honduran matter.

    You can argue all day about whether Zelaya violated the constitution and whether the laws of Honduras were properly carried out by the military, but the two situations are not analogous.

    The Hondorian Congress and Supreme Court ordering it’s military to send Zalaya packing is not a military coup. Saying so has as much validity as saying Nixon was overthrown.

    Actually Burma is one we could win
    Than Shwe’s grip is tenuous , the population would turn on him in a second if they thought they had back up . The Shan , Wa , Karen and Chin ,Kachin as well as many minor ethnic groups are organized and prepared , The younger “electronic generation” is a coiled spring and they learned a lot last tiem out.

    Wow, we definitely have a lot of Fox News watchers here! Obviously you guys don’t know that the only thing Zelaya did was send out a “non-binding referendum” (something like a poll) to his people asking if they wanted the Constitution to be changed. The rich folks and military then freaked and threw him out. You guys need to get your stories straight.

    ^ Even that is against their Constitution, and was written the way it was because of fear of dictatorship. Read their Constitution, and don’t rely on AP.
