Obviously not since they probably don’t murder each other.

Than arguably the pro-Zelaya since it advocates the removal of the current government is an equal threat to Honduran security.

:rolleyes:

The opposition media reported to the Hondurans that they had a coup, they did and are complaining about the \*\*current \*\*de facto regime that closed them and continues to pressure the opposition media and look the other way when crimes are committed against opposition members, the near future will tell all (in Honduras and elsewhere) if the new government will follow the footsteps of the coup regime or if it will break with the coup government.

(by the end of January the new president takes office, and it seems that you are completely ignoring this based on what you just typed)
