The Organization of American States was going to ban Honduras from the organization in response to what they call a coup. Honduras, today, withdrew before they were able to be suspended. From a Telegraph article today:
But the OAS - meeting Saturday evening in Washington to consider suspending the country's membership - says that the government of Honduras isn't legitimate and therefore can't withdraw from the group.
OAS assistant secretary-general, Albert Ramdin, told reporters that the OAS doesn't recognize the government that ousted Zelaya from office last Sunday and that "only a legitimate government" can decide to withdraw from the OAS.
Excerpt over. So my question is what will the OAS do when no representative of Honduras with any real power shows up to the meetings? What will they do when the current government refuses to abide by the OAS agreements they have withdrawn from? Cease-fires in Israel can be unilateral, and so is Honduras' withdrawal. The OAS can do their best to try and get an agreement with Honduras, but if the people at the border don't let them in, what do they think they are going to do?
If this leads to war, I condemn any nation that attacks Honduras. If our nation takes any part other than defending Honduras, I condemn my own nation.
