Re: Military Coup in Honduras

This is funny. THe OAS told Honduras to let Zelaya. Honduras said they would withdrawl from the OAS instead. The OAS said they couldnt withdraw because the OAS didnt recognize their govt. THen they kicked HOnduras out. You cant make up this stuff.

The small country's new leaders had told the OAS that Honduras would pull out of the body rather than let Mr. Zelaya back in the presidential seat. In an odd turn of events, the OAS said on Saturday that Honduras couldn't withdraw because its provisional government wasn't recognized by the international community.
