Neither is Honduras a a military dictatorship. That is just the line state-run media used because Obama is a Chavez-Ortega supporter. The Honduras Supreme Court ordered Zelaya removed, in concert with Honduras’ legislature because he blatantly defied their constitution by calling for, and organizing a referendum, which would likely have been fixed by their Acorn, to claim a second, third, fourth, ... term in office. In Honduras there is a one-term limit on presidents. Honduras' Army defends and protects their constitution (haven't I heard that somewhere before?). It did its job. They could, and perhaps should, have indicted Zelaya (or impeached, whatever is consistent with their laws). Look at the trouble he's causing in concert with Chavez, Obama and Clinton. He will get people killed.

Of course, but the difference is that the requirement is in their constitution. It's not in ours, except for the requirement to take the oath to support the Constitution. But Senators, Represenatives, and judges, take the same oath. Even local officials swear to support the Constitution of the United States, and generally that of their state as well. National Guard Officers, being dual hatted as Federal reservists and organized state militia, take separate oaths to support both. (Been there done that, in a state not the one I resided in. Couldn't have gotten away with that, probably, if I hadn't already been a reserve officer)
