I was reading about Manuel Zelaya's short presidency and this man was democratically elected. "Free election" and "democracy" are always coming off the lips of every US president, and we are told Cubans have no human rights because there are no free elections. In Honduras, they have free elections, and Manuel was elected by the majority, but was nearly assassinated in 09 by the same militants who are funded and trained by the US. It comes as no surprise that Obama was silent about this coup since this man must have done something wrong. Did he kill, oppress, or torture his people? Did he invade anyone or did he steal the election like Bush did? No, is the answer to all those questions, but then why was he overthrown? That's easy to see below

"Presidency
Manuel Zelaya in 2007

During Zelaya's time in office Honduras became a member of ALBA, an international cooperation organization based on the idea of social, political, and economic integration between the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Political opponents, particularly business elites, opposed his foreign policy, including his alliance with Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, and friendship with Cuba's Raúl Castro.[16]

In spite of a number of economic problems, there were a number of significant achievements under Zelaya's presidency. Under his government, subsidies to small farmers were provided, bank interest rates were reduced,[17] the minimum wage was increased by 80,% school meals were guaranteed for more than 1.6 million children from poor families, domestic employees were integrated into the social security system, free education for all children was introduced, poverty was reduced by almost 10% during two years of government, and direct state help was provided for 200,000 families in extreme poverty, with free electricity supplied to those Hondurans most in need.[18"

does the above quote indicate bad things? Not to the average person, and I bet the peasant American, who has had his electricity shut off for now being able to pay the bill, would love to receive free electricity for a change. But helping your people and bringing progress to a third world country is a crime in the eyes of Amerika. Who would, after all, work in those sweatshops for 18 hours a day without benefits, no fair wages and no protection agency to look out for the interests of the working class? It was clear that Zelaya posed a problem and just as Gaddafi, he had lost the "moral right" to be the leader of the country. It isn't that Latin America, Asia, Africa and others are not capable of democracy nor do they love dictatorships. who doesn't want decent quality of life, democracy and freedom? Who would wanna live in the dark and be oppressed? Only the US population would believe this bullshit and approve of the government's policies around the world.
