Subject: Honduras coup leaders shut main airport

So far, these liberal/social-democrat liders -- Zelaya and his latin american presidential amigos -- are playing a strong hand rather poorly. This comes from them not having a clear ideology and vision of the future -- beyond capitalism -- and thus the organizational means of effecting a decisive plan at the proper time and place. Hugo Chavez may come close here; but no cigar -- considering how his socialist revolution and Party have so far demonstrated themselves to be moving more along the old-times lines of social-democratic and clientelist politicking, than anything truly revolutionary and socialist. The cuban government OTOH, is somewhat suspect in its allegiance to actual socialist revolution anymore, in spite of its heroic past and its ongoing revolutionary posturing. With the rest of them, well... It was a huge mistake to involve the OAS in this thing, first off. Or the U.N.O. Centrally, anyway. This entire crisis is about *the beginning of the imperialist asssault on socialism in America Latina - -- and about their assault on ALBA, specifically*. And so all decisions taken here -- at least as much as Zelaya would go along with any of them: somewhat an 'iffy' proposition -- should be taken with that strategic goal in mind, first and foremost. Instead however, we have a gaggle of liberal/Left liders pulling their punches at every turn so far -- while the masses are out in the streets paying for it. In spite of this, the masses WILL win. However they will end up paying a heavier price than they would likely have had to, given better -- i.e.their own, truly socialist -- leadership. Bottom line: the coup MUST be crushed at all cost. ALBA must NOT be rolled back in Central America! - -- grok.
