The U.S. government continues to harass the Honduran government for constitutionally removing their former president. The United States, home to the oldest written constitution of any country, should support the Honduran government and its new president, not lead the international attack against political freedom.
The Washington Post reports that the U.S. has revoked the visas of four Honduran government officials. The Post states:
Officials of the current Honduran government say the arrest was legal, noting that Zelaya had defied the Supreme Court in calling a referendum that could have led to overturning the constitution's ban on a second presidential term. But his ouster has been roundly condemned internationally as a coup.The international community doesn't care about the country's constitution. A mindset exists that leaders of countries should not be removed. (Unless of course the leader is called a dictator and is removed through military force by a coalition of the willing...then it's just fine).
