I think it's a good idea financially.

Now all we have to do is cut off the rest of the countries while we get back on our feet.

So that's EXACTLY why the extremists on the left have no credibility. They do not understand the difference between a lawful, constitutional election and a naked power-grab. If someone is doing what THEY want then NOTHING is off the table; but if someone is not doing what they want they want that person sent to Leavenworth and shot (or at least NEM did, and he's echoed by the Michael Moore's out there; David Letterboys, Bill Mahers, Jon Stewartsteins, etc.)

GFY, I repeated stated on this board that impeaching Bush would have been wrong. It was disgusting in fact when your kind did it to Clinton because they disagreed with him politically, my opinion hasn't changed.

Ah but isn't that in fact what Zelaya was trying to do? He was forcing his military to distribute material for a vote on re-election that the Honduran Supreme Court, Congress, Attorney General, and Electoral Tribunal all ruled illegal/unconstitutional. He was promising to fire generals that did not follow his order and promised promotions to lower ranked officers that would. At what point do his actions warrant his ouster? Also it was not a minority coup, as he was in fact replaced by another member of his own party (the VP) who promised to uphold the constitution and have elections this year. The categorization of this as just another latin american military coup is a complete mischaracterization, and to me the Obama administration's stubborn refusal to recognize this is a major mistake. At the very least I'd be OK with them saying they thought it was wrong and just letting it play out from there, why is there this need to get involved? Not a good decision IMO.
