I thought it was funny putting this in the entertainment section....Apparently not.

Anyways Zelaya is not the popular and great leader like he has been made out to be.

Well, I must state that Honduras is not any country for raising beef cattle for sale overseas.   They can cover domestic needs, easily, but there no hope of a foreign market for Honduran beef. 

Haha western....

Speaking of that, westerns, have seen how many old school ranchers are moving from America to Brazil?

That is probably right, but I meant even as a western idea of a policing agency.

From my memories of Honduras, the army IS the policing agency of the whole country.  There's no other entity that would step in for this type of situation. 

Zeyala is trying to pull a Chavez and stay in power as long as he wants. Considering they are close friends and close idealogically that is not surprising.

I believe that the protests going on are for a couple different reasons.

Confusion: The Hondurans don't know what to believe right now. Also international media keep mis-representing this as a coup. I think only because the military did the arresting and not a policing agency.

Propagand: He was so far left he made Obama look right wing. There is an active campaign deception with in the labor unions and poor going on now about what has happened.

Proud Veteran,

I don't think there is much mayhem in Honduras right now, just some protesting in Tegucigalpa. 

There is no anarchy or revolution going on in Honduras.  All that happened was a sitting president attempted to subvert his country's constitution by attempting an illegal extension of his term of office. 

The Supreme Court of Honduras ordered their army to arrest president Zeyala.  That is not a coup. 

The US is heavily involved militarily in South America. The reason being the war on drugs, which is centered in South America, as it is the source for cocaine, etc.

The drug cartels rule a portion of Central and South America. It would not suprise me that the drug cartels are involved somehow in any revolution, riot, government overthrow or other anarchy that occurs in that region of the world.

Drug cartels, flush with cash, have a front row seat with black market weapons dealers.

It is too bad that innocent people have and continue to suffer, due to this mayhem.

I would put my money on the NFL too even tho some if exclusivity sucks. For instance 2k sports made NFL 2k5 which even tho for the old consoles is the best football game made. There use to be competition between the two major developers between EA sports and 2k sports. EA then went and was able to buy away the rights to use teams and players and so on. Since then Madden football games have really suffered. However 2009 was finally an improvement and hopefully 2010 will be another improvement. Staying on track with case, Mike Florio pointed out that if the NFL loses. Then companies like EA in video games would have to go team to team and work out deals to use players and team logos and the like (Dallas for instance would get way more money that the Lions would). This would effectively kill the NFL's profit sharing programs too, which keeps a float a lot of the small market teams.
