  For years, since the rumblings of liberating Iraq began, we have heard from the left & Democrats that Afghanistan was the "right" war - it's where we needed to fight & concentrate resources to "get Bin Laden" & all those who attacked us on 9-11. Now they have their chance to put substance behind the rhetoric, & with articles like this & the dithering by Obama, we see there is no substance to that rhetoric. Very sad.

  Weinberg's attempt to legitimize the poliltical thuggery of Zelaya & the statist movement falls flat. Ignoring the constitution & law seems to be a trend among the left around the world. It is plainly evident that Zelaya was attempting to set himself up as a leader for life, like Castro & Chavez. Consider this: Zelaya was going to hold his own election, using ballots supplied by Venezuela. The results of the election were ready to be published - these results a huge victory for Zelaya. THE ELECTION DID NOT OCCUR. We have a blatantly contrived election. Zelaya should be happy he's …

It's hard to have an exchange of ideas if everything's the same "Bush is Bad" or "USA is evil, mercenary, empire, blah blah blah..." stuff. BTW also...

  I mean, it's blatantly obvious what the thuggish Zelaya was trying to do. The constitution of Honduras is very clearly written, & Zelaya was clearly breaking the law. No one has tried to refute the FACT that the results of the election were already ready to be disseminated - though the election had not happened.
