After reading once again, the American 'Declaration of Independence', we have come to the conclusion that the people and army of Honduras did the right thing by stopping an emerging, prospective despot in their midst! The removal of former president Zelaya was in order and duty bound. The referenced document stated that 'to secure these ensconced rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Icheoku says, this is exactly what the people and army of Honduras did; they were right in altering or abolishing and stopping their former President Manuel Zelaya from destroying their constitutional government; which action, if allowed would most likely have effected their safety and happiness? This is a man who wanted to prolong his tenure by all means necessary and unconstitutionally, despite the objection of the Supreme court, the attorney general, the army and the people of Honduras? Icheoku says also, that such intended illegal and drastic change of Honduras Constitution by former President Zelaya is not such a 'light and transient causes' for which the declaration of independence forbade rabid change of governments? Constitution is the basic fundamental backbone of any society and anything detrimentally impacting it, is very egregious, for which the people should rise up and defend their manhood! Hondurans did exactly that and should not be penalized by anybody, including governments of the world.The people of Honduras have chosen not to suffer such evil but to do right for themselves by abolishing the form of government intending that evil.
Continuing the Declaration of Independence stated 'but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government! Icheoku says, again the people of Honduras have answered this call, they rose up to the occasion, exercised their right and duty and threw off such government of President Zelaya. The whole world should encourage them but not despise them. During last Iranian election, President Barack Obama said it was the internal affairs of the people of Iran to determine their destiny as to who governs them? So Icheoku asks, what changed with the people of Honduras who are now being harangued for taking their own destiny in their hands as well, by saying 'NO' to an emerging despot? If we recall correctly, Panamanian President Noriega was once removed by America so there is nothing wrong in the people of Honduras removing their errant president? Icheoku says nothing is wrong in the action of Tegucigalpa, in rebuffing the attempt to reinstate the deposed despot-in-the-waiting former president and supports them fully. Congratulation Hondurans!
