How is Muntadhar al-Zeidi supporting himself while he is "resting?" Reply...

Your article was very onesided. The legislature and Supreme Court of Honduras agreed Zelaya had violated the Honduran constitution and was no longer President. (SEE Wall Street Journal - Mary O'Grady and The Washington times article on Zelaya's robbing the bank of Honduras). The Chavistas are hysterical. Obama and Clinton have sided with Zelaya against the Legislature and Supreme court and Constitution of Honduras. Most of the people don't want him back and the 'innocent' pro Zelaya protesters (see Amnesty International) Burned buses and restaurants and attacked the firemen trying to quell the fires, rammed road blocks, charged the soldiers trying to keep order.
Picture this - Chavez loans Zelaya an airplane and he decides to land without permission in Toncontin. The army blocks the runways with old planes and tries to hold back a band of rowdy Zeleya supporters. So Mel circles overhead the airport inciting the gang below (many of whom are foreigners from Venezuela and Nicaragua and gang members paid by Chavez.) The soldiers are probably 19 - 20 year olds wearing a uniform and nervously holding a gun. Somehow a protester gets shot. Triste, but who's fault is it really? There is so much to tell, you could write a book about this story, or at least make a darn good movie. Clinton proposes that the President of Costa Rica hold the San Jose Accords to try to force Micheletti to take Zelaya back. Of course Insulza already has his mind made up .. he is a chavista too. And there is no negotiating ... take Mel back or else. The funniest part is when a Honduran diplomat states that Obama doesn't even know where Tegucigalpa is.

Zelaya was in Washington yesterday pleading his cause with Clinton. By the way, Jim De Mint to defending the Constitutional interim government.

One blogger wrote, 'I love being a Golpista! Viva Honduras!'
Micheletti and the Honduran people are the bravest people in the world to stand up to the U. S., the UN and all Chavez bullies and they won't give in...nunca! So it is extremely cruel to cut off aid to the poorest people in the Americas...for what? To force them to take back a crooked and corrupt dictator? Why exactly DOES Zelaya want to go back to a country where no one wants him, he has lost the support of his party, he has no support in congress, the courts want him arrested? One reason is so he can resume the drug flights he allowed to land at the airport. There is a lot of drug money involved in this. It also makes Chavez look bad that a tiny country can stand up to him and inspire oppressed people all over Central America to want to be free.
By the way, there are way more protesters FOR the interim government that for Zelaya. When he started running out of money to pay them, his crowd mostly went home.
AND the primaries were held before all this happened. The upcoming election in November is the normal scheduled election and not to respect the results is nonsense. Reply...

I agree!! Free trade is a sham. Why not have a fair trade deal? When the other countries bring their level of safety, evironmental consciousness, and wages up to ours then we can trade fairly with them. When a government is allowed to force people to work for little of nothing and then dumps the cheap items on our market, it not only makes our health and welfare unsafe it kills our economy because so many people want cheap crap instead of quality stuff. I do not think I have seen anything made in China that was a quality item. Reply...

Pakistan more than likely has made a deal with theTaliban and al-Qaida militants.

Beware the retribution on this one! I would not want to be a Mexican policeman in Sonora over the next few months!!

And worse than what the Mexican drug cartels will do in anger, is what cool-headed change in policy they'll implement in response to this action. They *will* act to protect their markets, and they *will* act to protect their market share. Can you imagine what Al Capone would have done if the government had destroyed 97 tons of his product?

Our governments follow a policy of "if we eliminate supply we'll eliminate demand". The policy is grounded in Say's Law of Markets and stems from a genuine desire to protect our citizens from the dangers of drugs. But Say's Law, the foundation of our drug policy, is critically flawed. Seventy years of absolute prohibition of drugs has proven this point unquestionably. After seventy years of prohibition the demand in the marijuana market alone in the United States is worth $113 billion a year! The foundation of our drug policies, and the basis on which this action was conducted, is flawed. We will *never* eliminate drugs and the actions of these narco-cartels until we accept this.

If Say's Law were correct and "supply creates its own demand" then any business could produce any product it wanted and it'd always find customers willing to purchase its goods, because of course, the mere supply of the goods would create demand for the goods themselves so every business would always be successful. If this were true we'd never see a single business close down because customers weren't interested in what they had to sell. But we see this *all* the time. Supply doesn't create its own demand, and the supply of drugs in the United States does *not* create demand for the drugs themselves!

Following a policy that seeks to eliminate demand for drugs has failed ever since it was created, and it will continue to fail forever because it's based on an incorrect notion of why people take drugs in the first place. The current drug policies are based on the belief that drug taking is an unnatural, deviant behavior that stems from the mere availability of the drugs themselves and from events in the user's lives that they are supposed to stand up to and tackle head-on rather than run from with the aid of drugs. This is simply not accurate.

The demand for drugs comes from within us, from a natural drive to want to experience altered states of consciousness. And it's not limited to humans, many wild animals are observed deliberately ingesting intoxicating substances for the sole reason of experiencing altered states of consciousness. Moose, mice, insects, birds, they all go out of their way to take substances that'll allow them to put aside reality for a time and let them experience alternative states of mind. This is a natural drive, equal in importance and naturalness to the drives for food, shelter, and sex. Humans have always had it, and humans *will always* have it. An effective drug policy *must* have an accurate perception of why there is a demand for drugs in the first place if it is to have any chance at being successful!

The desire, and therefore demand, for drug taking is natural within us, and where there is demand over a critical minimum level there *will* be supply. In a prohibited market, where legal supply is banned, all supply will be illegal. Our current drug policies merely open a door for the actions of these cartels. The cartels simply could not survive in an environment of legal supply by licensed businesses in conjunction with the continued enforcement action against them by the DEA and local police.

Our current drug policies *increase* the dangers to our youth, rather than decrease them. They encourage drug dealers to operate in our communities, and for the unrestricted supply of drugs to minors.

We must insist on a change in policy which recognizes that demand for drugs cannot be removed by actions taken against the suppliers! We *must* insist on the legal production and sale of marijuana by licensed businesses to adults. Inactivity on this issue puts our children at risk, harms society, and is intolerable! Reply...

Free Trade was a crock from day one.

I was working in an assembly plant before the Free Trade with Mexico started. We had exhaust parts being shipped in from Wisconsin. The minute Free Trade from Mexico started, the same parts arrived, but manufactured in Mexico. How many US workers have lost their jobs to "outsourcing" to other countries?

There are not US manufactured parts anymore. They are now North American parts. Mostly built in Mexico.

Most of Europe is recieving a large quantity of oil from Russia. If Russia shuts down the oil to Europe, factories will close and eventually people will freeze to death. France is talking tough, but will not (or any other Eurpoean country) back those demands. Reply...

Then what? If not the French will have their first nation to surrender to this century?? Reply...

I seriously don't believe that President Dmitry Medvedev will do what the French president wants him to do. PM Putin is running the show in Russia. Reply...

Does this appear ironic? The world's only superpower cannot beat a little country, Iraq, for five years with all their military might?
When attacked in their fortress, the "Green Zone", they are unable to fight, but just cower, wimplike, and take casualties.
Then comes the retaliation. Bomb and kill noncombatant civilians, thereby making 50 more enemies for every dead child or woman.
Then, blame Iran for weapons, not mighty Russia or China who manufactures weapons, which the US has no stomach to threaten. Reply...

Why does this not surprise me? We all knew Zanu and Mugabe would meddle with things. Resistance to Change per say. However, unless Zanu has a psychic, how the hell do they know there is something wrong with the result?

And they need a recount? Why? To add in the ghost boxes from Dhimbamihwa and Kasango? Whatever the case, nothing is wrong with results. What is wrong is to allow a recount. Enough is enough. Reply...
