I especially like when they say this is an american ship. Hello - no it's not.

That is absolutely incredible.

Any recent updates?

I haven't heard any, but would sure be interested, if anyone else has.

The President of Costa Rica (a former Nobel Prize winner) has gone to negotiate a truce between the two sides. That was a week ago, I have not heard anything since other than both sides are firm in their convictions.

Thanks, Neal .... That's also the last I heard. Even with effort it's hard to get news from there.

You know ... totally feel this is not something that is just going away.

Both sides have good stories and both sides are in the right. I would hate to be in the foreign policy branch of the government. We have to support the current regime since we cannot condone overthrow of governments, but the old President was trying to become a dictator.....

It's a tough one, all right . . .

Found this on FoxNews

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called de factor Honduran leader Roberto Micheletto to warn him about the consequences for his country if it does not permit ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to return to power, the State Department said Monday.

The fine people of Honduras simply removed a communist wannabe from Power on June 28th... He blatantly disregarde the constitution, defied a supreme court order ... The political problems have been grossly exagerated. There were some demonstrations- but due to the ex-presidents encouraging them. The Mainland may be experiencing this, but ROATAN is not Cruises continue,and Carnival is opening an awesome new facility! I live here and love it.... I'm a citizen of US but now have residency here..... No problems here, unless you find life in the caribbean objectionable.. hahaha Come down and see
