Democratically-elected President Zelaya of Honduras has spent the past four months in exile in his own country, and is now being shipped to Domincan Republic as part of an agreement established under the new, what Zelaya calls "sham", regime. The US wil be represented at ths inauguration by a senior State Department official. The six military officers, graduates of the School of the Americas (enough said), have been given amnesty for their role in kidnapping and forcefully removing Zelaya from office.
 
Democracy should mean something but does it?
 
The world is NOT watching, and criminal activities are being legitimated before our very eyes. Democracy, the formal electoral stuff with lots of military to back it up, needs to be re-invented.
 
President Obama: Please consider using the Nobel Peace Prize to have peace in Honduras (and in many other places)
