Methinks this could turn ugly very quickly if something is not done soon. The whole South AMericas has been very itchy lately, and I get the feeling that Chavez is just waiting for a chance to try out his new oil funded army. He may plan to re-institute the ousted President by force, they're good pals.

Another central american military junta is not what the world needs right now. Honduras has been a problematic country in the region for over half a century.

And the right the US is using this principled stand as a chance to beat the Obama up about supporting "Socialists" and "Leftists".

See? All this talk about loving "Democracy" goes out the window in the US when right wingers discover someone from the left has been fairly elected....then they switch to "the ends justify the means" and support right wing military coups.

What a twist of fate. President Obama's Secy of State Hillary Rodham Clinton surprising shift in stand in calling the move of ousted Honduran President Mel Zelaya's symbolic border crossing, only a few steps across the border from Nicaragua into his homeland waiting his loyal military officials to contact him, "RECKLESS."

According to Mel Zelaya, he was only forced to act on his own after the obviously a Honduran military-civilian junta and US-CIA pre-arranged Costa Rican talks, to restore democratic and constitutional order in Honduras, understandably failed to reach a negotiated settlement for US-CIA coup-installed Micheleti government to reinstate him.

The world is now witnessing the US-CIA created leftist US President Obama as nothing but a lame-duck and simply racial county-show US president, they cloaked with a Democratic-Republican butterflies led by Hillary Clinton who singly calling the shot.

US-CIA friendly partner is the resurging Democratic-Republican schemers.

Finally, the rightist coup leaders who un-constitutionally ousted Honduran President Mel Zelaya succumbed to international pressure, with its continuing diplomatic isolation and after realizing the warning made by majority of leaders of latin American countries that the November election would not be recognized was very serious.

With the help of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who expressed confidence that the situation will all end well said that, "Brazil did well" in taking Zelaya in their embassy and that "truth prevailed," "Brazil did what any other democracy would do."
