hO YES 300 people in the embassy of brasil just a bunch of hungry people day after tommrow , no water , electricy to charge there cell phones , this wont last long after teh disel fuel runs out .

By Z living in the embassy he has no place to go no real platform to stand on , while the november elections will go on with out him or his manafisto of president for life.
when the elections happen the people will have spoken and then what all the nations of the presidents execpt lula , chaves , morlas , castro will say it was a fair election lest get on with it .

but brasil and lula will be stuck with mr Z and his 300 , and by no means are they spartins wont even die like one.

if you look mr laywer the people in the embassy can be tried as trators just like Mr Z will be if he comes out of hiding ,

his best move would be to come out stand trail and explain his position , YOU could be his probono laywer ?????

other than that all he can do is sleep and cry over the phone calls to lula for help as the Un have turned there back on it so far

Why is this classified as an article? This is a blog, or an opinion piece at best... what type of writer spells "capital" wrong? Snooker

Just how did they get in?
Well, here's some physics for you: They got scared when the riot police came to disperse the mutinous (I can spell mutinous, that's one snooker on you) crowd, and they climbed the wall to get in. Sadly, all they found in there was some cookies and a defeated Zelaya, who hilariously put himself between a rock and a hard place. Is he going to live in the Embassy forever? I dare say he won't, and the moment he steps out of that building, he'll be arrested and taken to the courts to face trial.
Snooker. On you and on Zelaya.

Wow, I feel that like I've been giving an infusion of methylated idiocy just for reading this crap. Zelaya violated his nation's Constitution, was removed based on the Constitution(even America's Congressional Research Service agrees) and now wants to throw a hissy fit because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar(thousands upon thousands of prefilled ballots shipped straight from Venezuela).


Notice that individuals like the so-called writer fail to discuss why there where prefilled ballots from Venezuela, or why Zelaya brought a small army of thugs to retrieve the ballots from a secured army facility after they were confiscated. Sounds pretty presidential don't it? Or why he fired the head of the military even though the Constitution of Honduras only enables the Congress and not the executive branch to do that.


In the end, Honduras will hold out, elections will happen, the world will move on, Zelaya will either be arrested, tried and imprisoned or he will settle to live in exile and spend the rest of his life crying into his Stetson hat.


As far for the writer, writing "snooker" over and over isn't exactly clever, it only makes one think that you might be somewhat mentally diseased.

AFTER LIVING IN RIO FOR 30 YEARS HE JUST MIGHT BE.

BUT DID HE GET THE BALLOTS ?? i cant see where he did or didnt

glad you think the people are right and Z will live with out his land , in brasil or with chaves

Some Brazilian commentators profess to worry about the US/Brazil relationship, on the assumption that Brazil's p**ative impending hegemony over Latin America is a threat to the US.

I am yet to come across one single Brasilian or an American commentator professing this "worry" over this issue. In case you do read the Brasilian Newspapers, almost all the Brasilian commentators are appalled at this "Tragicomedy". Why cant you understand that Zelaya tried to amend the constitution to become life long President of Honduras, following the example of his idols Chavez,Morales,etc; and his attempts were forestalled by their congress and the supreme court. HE LOST and is behaving like a sore loser. This whole incident is an eye opener for other "caudilhos" in the continent. End of Story.

I believe this are the views and not the news. Clearly, Brazil by allowing Zelaya to return and cause chaos, they are clearly breaking international law in the peaceful country of Honduras. Not to mention their direct interference in another country. This is abominable, since Brazil used to criticize that action.
Please notice how the writer failed to note that Mr. Zelaya wanted to reform the constitution of Honduras, not by the proper channels, which is congress (Who along with the supreme court told Mr. Z that it was illegal). He wanted to reform it by holding a "referendum" with ballots printed in Venezuela (yeah, that will be fair).

Get a clue.

I don't think the writer was keeping track of the deteriorating situation in Honduras caused by Mr.Zé Zelaya´s insistence in modifying the constitution with the help of his leftist buddies Chavez, Ortega and other "Caudilhos". On the contrary, there are plenty of real, well informed and educated Brasilians who have been vocal against our interfering in the domestic affairs of Honduras.

The writer of this article published an article yesterday titled "Neither Obama Nor Chavez. Brazil's Lula Shows in Honduras Who's the Boss", praising the decisions taken by our government. Then today he publishes an article titled "Brazil Meddles in Honduras and Dares World to Put Money Where Mouth Is" wherein he is complaining about Brasilian government meddling in Honduras. Even he cant deny that he took a 180 degree turn within less than 24 hours!

Of course I understand and appreciate the writer better than ya all do. He is a lawyer and a noble member of OAB and that explains it all.

Brazil aspires to be the regional hegemon. The US doesn't appear willing to stand by idly and allow this. First came the resurrection of the Fourth Fleet. Then the coup in Honduras. Then the proposed bases in Honduras. Either Brazil puts her hegemonic dreams to bed, or she makes a riposte.

The move Brazil has made is interesting. Is it quite as brilliant, and fatal to the opponent, as Mr Royster makes it out to be? I don't know. I have to admit, I wonder how long Mr Zelaya and co. can last in that embassy without water, electricity, etc., cut off -- did Brazilian strategists think of that?

I'll be watching with great interest the next moves made in this important chess game.

this lula guy is a scruffy,stinky,unshaven ,blowhard, marxist wannabee...he is a perfect example of a impotent latin american bluffing tin-pot banana chucker.. its no wonder that this part of the world is stuck 300 years behind the first world..incidentally, most americans would appreciate it if brazil would call home their nationals illegally in the u.s.a.,,it seems they have no respect for u.s. laws and are inherently criminal...

As painful as it may be, I daresay that I fully agree with the following statement...

this lula guy is a scruffy,stinky,unshaven ,blowhard, marxist wannabee...he is a perfect example of a impotent latin american bluffing tin-pot banana chucker..

It would be about time for a reasonable character to miraculously emerge in Brasilia or major state capital (southeast ; south ; central) in order to RESCUE the nation´s repectability, and be poised to assist the nation´s transition from banana republic to western democracy

I find the above comments to be, literally, stupifying.

Lula has presided over one of the most sustained periods of economic growth in Brazilian history - growth, I might add, that has also managed to actually trickle down to the poor rather than just up to the rich.

And yet trickle up tot the rich it has as well, by the hundreds of billions of dollars. Those renowned rebdoubts of the Fourth International, the bankers and the oil industry, just love Lula. For the first time in recent history, Brazil looks like it might actually get out from under its external (eternal) debt. Prosperity is booming. Fat cats are happy, as are most of the people.

And yet here above, we have a smattering of apparently American and English nutters claiming that all this is communism - nay, Stalinism of the worse kind!!!

One wonders what kind of world Messrs Augustus and Observer et al would have us all live in, if they believe that current current government in Brazil is radically socialist. Apparently for these gentlemen, nothing to the left of corporate fascism and blind nationalism can be considered to be "true democracy" or "capitalism".

augustus and the rest are excellent examples of how today's so-called conservatives are actually radical anti-capitalist demagogues. It's hard to see, in their statements, what a world ordered to their like would be like but one thing's for damned sure: it would be a world in which 90% of the human race would be much worse off than it is now.
