            <description>&lt;div&gt;GIVE-AND-TAKE' ON GUNS IN AKWESASNE&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;MNN&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;A&lt;/font&gt;ccording to Mike Mitchell, the new band councilor, we hope he doesn't mean that the Indigenous give and the colonists take!&amp;nbsp; He has announced a give-and-take style negotiation with Canada.&amp;nbsp; The armed border guards want to come into Akwesasne in exchange for something.&amp;nbsp; He suggests the Canada Border Services agents CBSA could give by taking some cultural sensitivity training.&amp;nbsp; If they become sensitive to us, our laws and our rights, they will get off the island and never come back.&amp;nbsp; The colony of Canada has no legal business manning their store in the middle of our community.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The Canada and US ultimatum is that they are going to keep the two bridges onto Kawenoke on Cornwall Island closed until we let them come in with guns.&amp;nbsp; As a band councilor, Mitchell has been a longtime anti-Confederacy sovereignty advocate.&amp;nbsp; He seems willing to compromise the Mohawk nation position. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;PIRATES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: Part II&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;YVONNE RIDLEY&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/spirit.jpg" width="356" align="left" border="0" height="244" /&gt;T&lt;/font&gt;HE arrogance of Israel is nothing short of breath-taking. On the eve of one of the most damning reports ever to be published on human rights abuses and suspected war crimes, Israel committed an act of piracy.&amp;nbsp; While western naval fleets are patrolling the waters off the coast of Africa, acts of piracy are being carried out routinely in the Mediterranean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;But the international community leaders couldn't care less because most of those who are kidnapped, shot at and hijacked at sea are Palestinian fishermen from Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;However yesterday Israel crossed a line after firing on and boarding a boat carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The 21 on board included former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire, who were taken prisoner by the Israeli navy after gunboats surrounded and seized the Free Gaza Movement relief boat 'Spirit of Humanity' on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The aid was seized, their mobile phones confiscated and no doubt cameras capturing the illegal actions of the Israelis were also removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;This is an outrageous violation of international law against us.&amp;nbsp; Our boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip,&amp;quot; said Cynthia McKinney, the Green Party's 2008 candidate for

            <description>&lt;div&gt; How to Deal with America's Empire of Bases: A Modest Proposal for Garrisoned Lands&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;by &lt;font size="3"&gt;Chalmers Johnson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/chalmers.gif" width="154" align="left" border="0" height="285" /&gt;T&lt;/font&gt;he U.S. Empire of Bases -- at $102 billion a year already the world's costliest military enterprise -- just got a good deal more expensive. As a start, on May 27th, we learned that the State Department will build a new &amp;quot;embassy&amp;quot; in Islamabad, Pakistan, which at $736 million will be the second priciest ever constructed, only $4 million less, if cost overruns don't occur, than the Vatican-City-sized one the Bush administration put up in Baghdad. The State Department was also reportedly planning to buy the five-star Pearl Continental Hotel (complete with pool) in Peshawar, near the border with Afghanistan, to use as a consulate and living quarters for its staff there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for such plans, on June 9th Pakistani militants rammed a truck filled with explosives into the hotel, killing 18 occupants, wounding at least 55, and collapsing one entire wing of the structure. There has been no news since about whether the State Department is still going ahead with the purchase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the costs turn out to be, they will not be included in our already bloated military budget, even though none of these structures is designed to be a true embassy -- a place, that is, where local people come for visas

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Canadian Soldier Killed in Afghanistan IED Attack&lt;br /&gt;
by&lt;font size="3"&gt; C. L. Cook&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/bulger-cnd-250.jpg" width="206" align="left" border="0" height="196" /&gt;C&lt;/font&gt;anadian Forces suffered the loss of its 121st soldier with the death in Afghanistan Friday of Corporal Nick Bulger. The blast occurred around 11:30 am local time in Kandahar province when Bulger's light armoured vehicle was targeted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The explosion was a near miss for Canadian Brigadier-General Jonathan Vance, whose vehicle passed the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) just metres ahead Bulger's vehicle. Five others were wounded in the blast. They are listed in good condition at Kandahar Airfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The CBC interviewed Cpl. Bulger on Canada Day, July 1st. Asked about the &amp;quot;Mission,&amp;quot; Bulger rang an optimistic note, saying;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Especially when we're driving down the streets in the rural areas, to look down into the eyes of the children that are there, you get a different perspective. All you see is the war and the destruction and stuff like that, but then when you see those kids running through the streets without a care in the world … being here makes a huge difference.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressed regrets and condolences to the Bulger family, saying;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Hard-won progress is being made in Afghanistan.&amp;quot; Adding; &amp;quot;Remarkable Canadians like Corporal Bulger will be remembered for their dedication and ultimate sacrifice for peace and freedom.&amp;quot;

            <title>Democracy Crisis? What Democracy?</title>

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Much ado about nothing?&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;William Blum l&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="1"&gt;Anti-Empire Report&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;W&lt;/font&gt;hat is there about the Iranian election of June 12 that has led to it being one of the leading stories in media around the world every day since? Elections whose results are seriously challenged have taken place in most countries at one time or another in recent decades. Countless Americans believe that the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 were stolen by the Republicans, and not just inside the voting machines and in the counting process, but prior to the actual voting as well with numerous Republican Party dirty tricks designed to keep poor and black voters off voting lists or away from polling stations. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The fact that large numbers of Americans did not take to the streets day after day in protest, as in Iran, is not something we can be proud of. Perhaps if the CIA, the Agency for International Development (AID), several US government-run radio stations, and various other organizations supported by the National Endowment for Democracy (which was created to serve as a front for the CIA, literally) had been active in the United States, as they have been for years in Iran, major street protests would have taken place in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Tribalism for Dumkopfs</title>

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Tribal Marxism for Dummies&lt;br /&gt;
by&lt;font size="3"&gt; Gilad Atzmon&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;F&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;or very many years the Palestinian solidarity discourse was dominated by leftist ideology carried largely by Jewish Marxists. Though the support of Jewish leftists was rather important at an early stage, it lost its primacy and urgency as Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian solidarity discourse evolved into a vivid autonomous discourse based on widely accepted ethical grounds. The Israeli war crimes against Palestinians are now well documented. No one needs the odd kosher ‘righteous Jew’ to approve that this is indeed the case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And yet, in spite of the clear fact that Palestinian solidarity discourse moved ahead, Jewish Marxists are still insisting upon dictating their tribally orientated pseudo-analytical vision of reality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jewish Marxism is very different from Marxism or socialism in general. While Marxism is a universal paradigm, its Jewish version is very different. It is there to mould Marxist dialectic into a Jewish subservient precept. Jewish Marxism is basically a crude utilisation of ‘Marxist-like’ terminology for the sole purpose of the Jewish tribal cause. It is a Judeo-centric pseudo intellectual setting which aims at political power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Honduran Coup Under Pressure&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;TheRealNews.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;T&lt;/font&gt;he military coup in Honduras is under increasing international pressure to restore elected president Manuel Zelaya to power, but is responding with growing repression.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The coup-backed regime of Roberto Micheletti has yet to gain recognition from a single foreign government and all three of its neighbors have sealed the borders. The regime also faces economic threats from the World Bank and the United States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            <description>&lt;div&gt;FBI Ignored Bush-Hussein Ties&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;Robert Parry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/saddam20statue.jpg" width="195" align="left" border="0" height="229" /&gt;T&lt;/font&gt;he FBI has released reports on 20 interviews and five conversations conducted with Iraq’s deposed dictator Saddam Hussein before he was put to death, but none of the disclosed Q and A deals with the role of the Reagan administration in delivering key components for Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons in the 1980s.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Either those questions weren’t asked or they are still being hidden by the U.S. government. The contents of one interview on March 21, 2004, were almost entirely redacted for supposed national security reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;As the National Security Archive, a private non-profit group that obtained the documents under the Freedom of Information Act, wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;“Not included in these FBI reports are issues of particular interest to students of Iraq’s complicated relationship with the U.S. – the reported role of the CIA in facilitating the Ba’ath party’s rise to power, the uneasy alliance forged between Iraq and the U.S. during the Iran-Iraq war, and the precise nature of U.S. views regarding Iraq’s chemical weapons policy during that conflict, given its contemporaneous knowledge of their repeated use against Iranians and the Kurds.”&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Vancouver 2010: Ringing In Free-Speech</title>

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Free speech faces Olympic-sized threat, says BCCLA&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;BCCLA&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/FRC-%20flag.jpg" width="171" align="left" border="0" height="268" /&gt;I&lt;/font&gt;n the wake of UBC forbidding students from posting signs and posters on dorm buildings or in dorm windows “visible from the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre” and VANOC urging cities to prohibit political leafleting or signs during the Olympic torch run, the BCCLA has come to the troubling conclusion that free speech is not welcome at the Olympics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;“Canada, B.C. and Vancouver said in our bid documents that we would honour our constitutional commitment to free speech, but they forgot to mention this right was reserved for Olympic sponsors alone,” said Robert Holmes, President of the BCCLA. “It’s time for a sober second look at these anti-free speech activities, and if necessary seek review of them by our Courts.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;UBC is asking students who wish to live on campus to sign a tenancy agreement which obliges the students not to post “signage or displays that create a false or unauthorized commercial association with the Olympics.” The BCCLA will be working with students in September to overturn this prohibition on speech that led to confrontations during the APEC protests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this month, the BCCLA obtained from 24 Hours newspaper reporter Bob Mackin a copy of documents drafted by VANOC identifying activities such as handing out political pamphlets or displaying political banners while

            <description>&lt;div&gt;U.S. Troops (sort of) Pull Out of Iraq Cities: Iraq now (sort of) sovereign (sort of) pregnant woman makes medical history&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;Mike Ferner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/2009%20Convention%20Logo_200.jpg" width="170" align="left" border="0" height="239" /&gt;A&lt;/font&gt;s of June 30, all U.S. troops have left Iraq's cities - except for Baghdad where municipal borders were redrawn so a U.S. base doesn't have to move, Mosul where some troops will remain as &amp;quot;advisers,&amp;quot; and other cities we haven't heard about at this point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;A year from now, the U.S. will still have upwards of 50,000 'non-combat' troops in Iraq - a rather bizarre concept to any soldier who has been in a combat zone.&amp;nbsp; Not until the end of 2011, two and a half years from now, are U.S. troops finally scheduled to be gone, and even that distant deadline could change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Such a lengthy timetable is simply not good enough.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The presence of U.S. troops in Iraq is what fuels the instability and violence.&amp;nbsp; Keeping tens of thousands of military personnel there for at least another 18 months will insure the killing and wounding, the political instability and the economic chaos will continue that much longer. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;US seeks deal between Honduran coup leaders and deposed president&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;The OAS, meeting in Washington on Wednesday, gave the new regime in Tegucigalpa three days to relinquish power and allow Zelaya to resume his presidency or face suspension from the body. On Tuesday, Zelaya addressed the UN General Assembly and obtained its official support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;He announced that he would postpone his return to Honduras, originally slated for Thursday, to Saturday, after the three-day OAS deadline expires. He said he would be accompanied by OAS head José Miguel Insulza, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, Ecuadorian leader Rafael Correa, and Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, the Nicaraguan president of the UN General Assembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;The show of support from the OAS and the UN was joined by a series of moves by governments in Latin America and Europe as well as international bodies aimed at isolating the new regime in Honduras

            <description>&lt;div&gt;Open Letter to Margaret MacDiarmid, B.C. Minister of Education&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;Hanna Kawas&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/macdiamid.jpg" align="left" border="0" width="278" height="204" /&gt;D&lt;/font&gt;ear Minister: I am a survivor of the Nakba (the Palestinian Catastrophe). My parents were forced out of Jaffa, Palestine in 1948 by Zionist terrorist gangs while my mother was still pregnant with me. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Margaret MacDiarmid:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="1"&gt;Should we dare request a meeting with you to clarify the facts or is
that only reserved for the pro-Israel lobby?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;My parents and many others were part of the one third of the Palestinian people who became refugees before the establishment of the state of Israel. This happened under the watch of the British mandate and its troops who were in Palestine to “civilize” the Palestinian people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked, hurt and outraged by &lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/Ministry+removes+controversial+Middle+East+question+from+history+exam/1728437/story.html" title=""&gt;your action of removing an exam question &lt;/a&gt;relating to the dispossession of my people. It is clear that your action came as a result of pressure from the “Canadian Jewish Congress” that claimed, “all three sentences are misleading and historically inaccurate” without specifying or attempting to clarify why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Let us look at the exam question: “They have been fighting to regain a homeland since they were driven out in 1948. Some have lived their entire lives in refugee camps. Forty years later, Israel still refuses to recognize their right to

            <title>Spirit of Humanity: Of Pyrates and Piracy</title>

            <description>&lt;div&gt;The &amp;quot;Spirit of Humanity&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;Paul Craig Roberts&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;O&lt;/font&gt;n June 30, the government of Israel committed an act of piracy when the Israeli Navy in international waters illegally boarded the &amp;quot;Spirit of Humanity,&amp;quot; kidnapped its 21-person crew from 11 countries, including former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Laureate Mairead MaGuire, and confiscated the cargo of medical supplies, olive trees, reconstruction materials, and children's toys that were on the way to the Mediterranean coast of Gaza. The &amp;quot;Spirit of Humanity,&amp;quot; along with the kidnapped 21 persons, is being towed to Israel as I write.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Gaza has been described as the &amp;quot;world's largest concentration camp.&amp;quot; It is home to 1.5 million Palestinians who were driven by force of American-supplied Israeli arms out of their homes, off their farms, and out of their villages so that Israel could steal their land and make the Palestinian land available to Israeli settlers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;What we have been witnessing for 60 years is a replay in modern times, despite the United Nations and laws strictly preventing Israel's theft of Palestine, of the 17th, 18th, and 19th century theft of American Indian lands by US settlers. An Israeli government spokesman recently rebuked the President of the United States, a country, the Israeli said, who stole all of its land from Indians, for complaining about Israel's theft of Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;There is no way I will deploy to Afghanistan. The occupation is immoral and unjust. It does not make the American people any safer. It has the opposite effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Ten days later, he refused to obey a direct order from his company commander to prepare to deploy and was issued a second counseling statement. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On that one he wrote, &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;I will not obey any orders I deem to be immoral or illegal.&amp;quot; Shortly thereafter, he told a reporter, &amp;quot;I'm not willing to participate in this occupation, knowing it is completely wrong. It's a matter of what I'm willing to live with.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The games is an international sporting event where police officers, firefighters, customs and correction officers compete against each other in over 65 sporting events.&amp;nbsp; More than 12,000 police officers, corrections officers and firefighters will be in Vancouver for the 10 day event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The Anti-Poverty Committee is calling for a mobilization against police brutality both locally and internationally, and the violence that the state perpetrates around the world everyday through police and 'correctional' facilities. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The APC calls on all those individuals and groups who are against police brutality and the everyday terror and violence caused by the various police forces to participate in actions and events during the police and fire games.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Montreal girls anxious to leave Honduras&lt;br /&gt;
Last Updated: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | 3:25 PM ET Comments3Recommend1&lt;br /&gt;
CBC News&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;A group of high school girls from Montreal remained stuck in Honduras on Tuesday after a military coup there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Twenty-one students, aged 16 and 17, and three teachers from Pensionnat du Saint-Nom-de-Marie — a private girls school in Outremont — flew to Honduras last Thursday to volunteer with a group called Mer et Monde. The girls were reportedly there to help build a new wing on a women's centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, a military coup forced the Honduran President, Manuel Zelaya, into exile in Costa Rica, and incited clashes between protesters and riot police in front of the presidential palace in the capital, Tegucigalpa, on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Half of the girls were staying in a village in the countryside, the rest were at a guesthouse in the capital, near the presidential palace.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Covering (up) the coup in Honduras - the BBC does its bit for the Empire&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;font size="3"&gt;William Bowles &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 5px" alt="" title="" src="http://www.pacificfreepress.com/images/stories/new2/bbctv.jpg" width="238" align="left" border="0" height="202" /&gt;T&lt;/font&gt;he devil lives in the small print, the devil in this case being the BBC in its coverage of the coup d’etat that ousted President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras on 27 June, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Take the following para from a BBC piece titled ‘US treads careful path on Honduras’ (30 June, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “So while Washington's reaction has been strong and swift, when it comes to statements, its actions have so far been measured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now you may wonder why the BBC chose the word ‘measured’ to describe the US’ response to the military coup d’etat? Not only why but how? The following para explains,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “This is a signal that Washington is not keen to use its clout to help Mr Zelaya return to power, shying away from any action that could be seen as interventionism in a region where the US has a long, complex history.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But ‘measured’ is not a word that describes the US administration’s response. Obama simply stated that the Honduras coup is “not legal”. And note that the US interventions, both direct military and covert over the years, for example, US support for the

&lt;br /&gt;Veterans For Peace forcefully condemns the Israeli Navy’s seizure of the “Spirit of Humanity,” a converted tugboat loaded with medical supplies, children’s toys and reconstruction kits, en route from Cyprus to Gaza.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Military coup in Honduras&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;by &lt;font size="3"&gt;TRNN&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;O&lt;/font&gt;n Sunday, Hondurans were expecting to vote in a first ever nation-wide survey. Instead they woke to find the military in control of the streets and their elected President Manuel Zelaya kidnapped and flown to Costa Rica. Soon after, an emergency convening of the National Congress appointed Zelaya's political rival, Roberto Micheletti, as the new president. However, Hondurans were quick to take to the street and world leaders just as fast to denounce the move, demanding the return to power of Manuel Zelaya and refusing to deal with the coup leaders.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
