Wow! An old fashioned coup. Almost a classic with President Zelaya being led away in his pajamas. Who say this coming? One of the most interesting aspects of it is that both Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez have condemned it. Now that is a strange alliance. Adn I think it is funny that the new "president" declared that it was not a coup. What else could it be whe the military takes an elected president away in his pajamas and exiles him to another country?
Thoughts?

I read something about this earlier and found it rather odd that a country can overthrow their president and have someone else in power so quickly after. It's just mind boggling for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's just like Napoleon. The Directory was out and Napoleon was suddenly First Consul. That's what a coup is. It is interesting to me that Mousavi describes what has happened in Iran as an election coup. That is a really innovative use of the word.
