Its more like its there to put a militar dictator in power.

I dont know how that protects liberty since anyway the ones who choose the president are still the people.

And in October/November, they get to chose another one.

Anybody except the guy they've already had. And if they talk about how they'd like to re-elect that guy, they're summarily arrested by the army without so much as the need for a court ruling. I thought somebody as obsessed with freedom as you would condemn this kind of tyranny.

Does that sound like a democracy to you? One of the defining characteristics of a democracy is that ultimate power flows from the people. It's clear that in Honduras, ultimate power flows from the army.

Legitimate democracies don't need to control the media. Dictators do.
