Honduras message is simple: the popular vote does not include a license to commit crime, and any effort to govern for the common good should be within the framework of the law.

    As the topic here says, just because mr Zelaya was elected democratically, that doesn't mean we gave him a carte blanche to do with our country whatever pleased him. We still have laws, and he is not above them. He demonstrated time and time again that he is a stubborn person, who demands obedience from his subjects. In other words, he is a dictator in the making. I don't understand how people like Castro, Chavez, Correa, Morales and Ortega, are all uniting under the "Let's defend Honduras democracy" slogan when each and every one of them is a dictator in thier own country!

    • Hello Mr. Angel Zelaya:

      I see that Honduras was and still is one of the ways Chavez wants to get drugs through Honduras and into the United States. Since there is no more a huge price of oil and Chavez doesn't have any other legal way to earn money for his "friends" then Chavez is desperate to get the drug money. The FARC is needed of weapons and money to "survive". On the other hand hungry people starve all over South America, Central America and the Caribbean and where is the money to feed the population(children and elders)?, going to the FARC guerrillas and to Chavez fat wallets
      The Castro brothers, Correa, Chavez,Morales, Ortega, etc they want to create confusion regarding the Honduras situation. In Honduras there is a legal democracy and even Zelaya was elected as the president. Where is the problem? Zelaya wants to rule Honduras like the Castro brothers, Chavez,etc do in their own countries.

      He is trying to convince others that there was a coup. NO! there was not a military coup, Zelaya tried to do an "electoral
      coup" by trying to ignore the current Constitution of Honduras and rule the country at will, trying to go above the law and implement his own personal dictatorship like the one in Cuba by the Castro brothers and in Venezuela by Chavez.

      Good writing Mr.Angel Zelaya!

  • The Castro brothers,Chavez and the others always speak with lots of bodyguards around. This means how coward these politicians are. They do not criticize if they are not well protected. They insult others only if they are safe behind a net of soldiers who keep them out of reach of any journalist with a tough question to make. They are boring and I don't feel like answering everything they say.


  • Hello to the WSJ Staff and to any reader interested:

    We must support Honduras strongly. The population and the true democrats are fighting against a hidden conspiracy to over throw Honduras Constitution to make room for Zelaya and get the true defenders of Honduras out of the way.

    Many leftist presidents of South America wants to stay in power for a life-time so things can be done better. That's what they say. The reality is business never recovered to before Castro levels while Batista was doing his best to attract more Americans investors.If we don't understand this we will never understand anything of Cuban history and why Castro has being there for 50 years.

    Now, these leftist presidents don't know a thing about what was called socialism. The Real Socialism was never built, even if many intelectuals from Western Europe insisted speaking to Radio France International about the Real Socialism.

    No word from Karl Marx or Federic Engels saying that the "Real Socialism" included the fact of been in power for a life-time. Socialism didn't have a word about how good it was to have a president for a life-time. But Lenin tried to adapt what Karl Marx said about moving to socialism in the most developed countries to Russia conditions and then decided to create his own Socialism, which Lenin later realized was not good at all.

    What happened in the ex-Soviet Union when Breshnev was left in power until his death?.

    Many opportunists decided it was their good times coming.Breshnev was sick, badly sick and he was not in charge anymore for at least 20 years. He needed to be hold by both sides so he would not fall. Since the moment that Breshnev was elected as the new president and to the day of his death, everything went terribly wrong. If we check what happened during those years in Communist Russia we will discover that being in power for a long time is not a solution at all.

    The influence of Fidel Castro staying in power for half a century in Cuba has been copied by other new presidents in the region. The 50 years of the Castro brothers in power has ignited the desire to do the same by another lefty politicians in South America. That will not help the economic development of any country but will do good to those in charge of the government, there will be billions of dollars to spend in whatever they please.

    Now I will discuss this matter in a civilized manner to whoever wants to from the Zelaya followers including himself. If anybody thinks that I am wrong I invite this person to prove it and show the world what is best, the Capitalism that we had in Cuba? or the Cuban population standards of living under the Castro regime? who only knows to crack down Cubans hopes for a better life.

    Employment under Batista was high and only a few Cubans decided to leave Cuba and make a living in the United States. The economic problems that Cuba started to have was when Fidel Castro insurgency started to fight the Batista goverment and then the economy started to slow down and American Investments, which brought with them a lot of employment, left the country waiting for normality to return for business.

    How much success has the Castro brothers reached to prove that Socialism is better? Lenin said productivity is the main issue. If socialism is able to have a higher work productivity, Capitalism will lose the race. Not at all.

    Socialism was put aside by the ex-Soviet Union and the Russian authorities decided to fix their economy in their own way.

    Let's contribute to the Honduras willingness of been independent and out of Chavez tiranny, let's help them in any creative way. At this moment buying any product with the label "Made in Honduras" that we can afford to buy, will be a way to start peacefully a road to true humanism with the people of Honduras who refuse to be under control of the Chavez left-extremism even if he doesn't know what that means, all he cares about is money to buy cash-allies to support him. Venezuela you are a very important part of this fight for democracy in South America so the Venezuela population is time to restart fighting with fresh methods and fresh strategies to create trouble for Chavez inside his own country.

    In Cuba we have began a new period because we are tired of being manipulated by Castro and Company and we are conquering the fear that didn't let us to fight for freedom in an effective way.

    I flew over Cuba on my trip to Honduras last week. What a desolale place! No development, nothing green, deforested, bleak, and hopeless. That is what you get with the communists.
    In contrast, Honduras is fixing the roads, everywhere they are building something, ranging from commercial to the smallest home project. They even have a Walmart now. The malls were packed. Traffic still legendary, of course.

    I'm glad to find out about this group.
    As a person who grew up in Honduras...I hate to admit the fact that most people have a negative impression about Honduras, but I cannot blame them nor can I think as the kid I once was when things were not nearly as bad as they are now. I happen to spend my golden years in Honduras as a kid; when it was safe to play soccer on the street, take a trip to the nearby river and return home safely.
    When I went back home last year, I realized those days are long gone. I was robbed, jumped and nearly kidnapped the second day I arrived home. It was a terrifying experience for me not only for the what happened but to see the decay where my homeland now stands and how corrupt most people tend to be due to the fact that opportunity to do better and be better only diminishes by the day. Poverty, corruption, drug cartels, crime and homicide are in the everyday life of people and being victim of any of these is not abnormal at all for locals. In my own personal opinion I believe that it would be impossible to fix all the damage done over the years by a local politician...Honduras badly needs the help of other nations and in my humble opinion there is no better candidate than the United States. I truly believe that the opportunity exists for both nations to work hand to hand and to give over 6 million people the opportunity to dream of a better future and give future generations a better shot at quality life. For the United States, the labor force exists and millions of people are willing and ready to work for U.S. based companies while the U.S. decreases its dependency on China and other Eastern and Middle Eastern nations that day by day grow more hostile towards America. Coming and living in America changed my life for the better and I cannot thank enough God for the blessings. Who knows what life (if I were still alive) I would have had in Honduras, had I never come to America...
    Though I know the sad reality of my home nation...I know there is opportunity. I dream of a Honduras as the Israel of the Americas, a small country with great people who live by a code and peace for a greater good.
