Addressing the UN General Assembly yesterday and speaking to reporters afterward, Zelaya compared himself not only to Jesus Christ, but also to Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington and Martin Luther King. Announcing his plan to return to his country tomorrow to resume the role that "the people" chose him for, he broadly attacked the Honduran "power elite" that just exiled him.

He also introduced the entourage that's to accompany him on tomorrow's flight from Washington to Tegucigalpa. The top figures are Argentina's leftist President Christina Kirchner and UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann -- an old Sandinista hand who's spent the last year trying to turn the United Nations into an arm of the Nicaraguan-Cuban-Venezuelan axis.

If they arrest Zelaya that implies armed troops confronting him and doing that with a foreign president in tow is an act of war.

Will they allow the plane to land? What if the plane rejects such a refusal?

Bloviating is nice but how will this play out in real life?

Obama's meddling--the kind he couldn't muster on behalf of Iranian democracy--may lead to some interesting fireworks.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Who rented the "Disappearing" machine and has not returned it yet?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
