As a matter of background inforrmation, it seems that calling these problems of Honduras a "coup" is a bit of a mistake.From reading political analyst and comentator Gwynne Dyer it is revealed more realistically that pres.Zelaya was trying to do an end run on the constitution by attempting to set up a referendum , to permit in future elections that a president could run more than one term- hoping that he himself would be the first beneficiary in the upcoming fall elections. In this he was copying the tactics of his friend Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela . The supreme court repeatedly informed him that such a referendum was against the law , not constituional , and to desist. When he kept at it they did what the constitution required and put him out of office, but in a bit of a clumsy fashion.They ought to have arrested him and put him on trial instead of sending him to Costa Rica.
The USA was not thinking straight in immediately jumping in with demands that Zelaya be reinstated- they are just compounding the problems , more Chavez. The elections coming up in a few months would solve the problem of who is president .
