Honduras Reverts to Banana Republic?

The poorest second-poorest nation on our side of the world (beating Haiti doesn't say too much for a national economy) had one thing going for them: the rule of law. They had followed their Constitution and were standing on their own honor in spite of the rest of the world pointing fingers and guns at them, and taking money away from them.

Honduras has apparently caved.

Having abandoned honor, they now have nothing left. There is no more Honduras.*

Recall, please, that Zelaya was trying to rig the next election. Recall, please, that the results of the next election were recorded in his favor, on government computers, MONTHS BEFORE the election (which has yet to take place). So now, how is it going to help the People of Honduras to allow Zelaya to be put back into office?

I do not advocate anyone participating in political violence according to rule 308, but if ever there were a good time to do it, this may be it.

Hat tip to Atlas Shrugs

********

* unless Zelaya doesn't win the next election. If it actually goes off like it should, and the international socialists don't turn it into Cuba v2.0, we'll revisit this conclusion. You may guess what I think is going to happen. Chairman Zero of course will be all for the rule of law, once a socialist gets "elected" in Honduras. I could just spit.
