As I see it, and from a shallow perspective, this is nothing but a clearly anti-democratic constitution being enforced by a faction of the ruling class by violating it to apply a punishment to another violator of the same constitution.

^^ Done but the link was still in there ya lazy bums.
Either way though, the wiki page doesn't look to be functioning just yet.
I can't say much on the situation, cos i'm not familiar with the current political layout in Honduras. I know there was a military coup (In Latin America? No way!), and the ousted president went to the OAS for help, but that's about it.

What is entertaining is the great prominence it has got at a global scale and the whole array of motives behind this.
Of course repression is not fun, but, have they got any other option within this economic framework? I doubt so.

Well I've heard more about this. Thing is, basically, The president wanted to make some reform to things legallyInstead of going about things legally, the military (Or whomever was behind it, don't care) simply went for a coup de tat. Yeah... I'm for the original government. Now, if they went through lega channels and the president illegallys di is at he wanted, THEN we can talk. As it is now, whether or not the original leaders were good or bad or WHATEVER, there are legal ways of doing things. As it goes now, the coup is bad, in my opinion. He was democratically elected. He does something wrong, you don't shoot up the place. You whine. If you loose, well, you loose, and you vote for the toher guy next time. If not, well, South America has a serious coup problem already. How about someone try NOT starting a coup.
