As military “coups” go, the one this weekend in Honduras was strangely, well, democratic. The military didn’t oust President Manuel Zelaya on its own but instead followed an order of the Supreme Court. It also quickly turned power over to the president of the Honduran Congress, a man from the same party as Mr. Zelaya. The legislature and legal authorities all remain intact.

And from the Webster online dictionary:

Main Entry:
  coup d’état:
  or coup d’etat \ˌkü-(ˌ)dā-ˈtä, ˈkü-(ˌ)dā-ˌ, -də-\
Function:
  noun
Inflected Form(s):
  plural coups d’état or coups d’etat-ˈtä(z), -ˌtä(z)\
Etymology:
  French, literally, stroke of state
Date:
  1646

: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics ; especially : the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group

This fits the dictionary definition of coup, as in “a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics.” The people denouncing it however, are using the term with the “especially: the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.”
The only thing that changed about the government was who the president was. It wasn’t violent either.

Again from the WSJ:

We mention these not so small details because they are being overlooked as the world, including the U.S. President, denounces tiny Honduras in a way that it never has, say, Iran. President Obama is joining the U.N., Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez and other model democrats in demanding that Mr. Zelaya be allowed to return from exile and restored to power. Maybe it’s time to sort the real from the phony Latin American democrats.

Oh yes, it is time. We must work to end dictatorships around the world and replace them with republics and democracies. We must especially pounce on dictators who practice Stalin’s quote, “It matters not who votes, but who counts the votes.” However, our president and his cabinet are not likely to do that.
The Wages of Chavismo (Wall Street Journal)

Hugo Chávez’s coalition-building efforts suffered a setback yesterday when the Honduran military sent its president packing for abusing the nation’s constitution.

It seems that President Mel Zelaya miscalculated when he tried to emulate the success of his good friend Hugo in reshaping the Honduran Constitution to his liking.

But Honduras is not out of the Venezuelan woods yet. Yesterday the Central American country was being pressured to restore the authoritarian Mr. Zelaya by the likes of Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, Hillary Clinton and, of course, Hugo himself. The Organization of American States, having ignored Mr. Zelaya’s abuses, also wants him back in power. It will be a miracle if Honduran patriots can hold their ground.

Birds of a feather, flock together.

Mrs. Clinton has piled on as well. Yesterday she accused Honduras of violating “the precepts of the Interamerican Democratic Charter” and said it “should be condemned by all.” Fidel Castro did just that. Mr. Chávez pledged to overthrow the new government.

This is unbelievable. A proponent of socialist medicine and two dictators, both of whom are about as democratic as Mao, are condemning someone else for being “undemocratic.”

Besides opposition from the Congress, the Supreme Court, the electoral tribunal and the attorney general, the president had also become persona non grata with the Catholic Church and numerous evangelical church leaders. On Thursday evening his own party in Congress sponsored a resolution to investigate whether he is mentally unfit to remain in office.

The rest of the government thinks he is acting illegally, orders the military to get rid of him, and the MSM calls it a “coup.” I suggest that they read a dictionary.

Honduras Defends Its Democracy

Israel showed no sign of slowing a blistering seven-day offensive against Hamas militants in Gaza, destroying homes of more than a dozen of the group’s operatives Friday and bombing one of its mosques as Hamas ordered a “day of wrath” against Israel over the killing of a senior commander.

This was in response to the rocket attacks. I hope that Israel makes Hamas regret those attacks
If Israel didn’t defend themselves, this wouldn’t have happened. Instead Israel would have been totally eliminated, and its people destroyed.
