Resolved Question

Notdarcy- good point. I was a bit embarrassed by that. Obvious in retrospect!

I agree with TM2PLA. This is a sticky situation, but I find it frankly baffling that the U.S. and the entire membership of the UN are offering such unequivocal support for this guy. Talk about a slimeball. He's a disciple of Chavez and looking to make the same grab for dictatorial power.

A coup is what happens when the military takes over and stays in power. The military here was acting at the behest of the Supreme Court and Congress, and then stepped out of the way. Honduras is facing a constitutional crisis precipitated by a power-mad populist that everyone suddenly feels sorry for because he was escorted out of the country in his jam-jams.

I sure would like to believe, in the event of, say, an invasion by Venezuela, that the U.S. military under orders from Obama/Clinton would step in and defend the people of Honduras. But I'm not holding my breath. Every foreign policy decision so far by this administration seems to be a gross misfire.
