I have been unable to make any sense of why Obama has thrown the weight of the United States behind the effort to force Honduras to knuckle under to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela by allowing deposed president Zelaya back into the country. As the enclosed article from the Wall Street Journal clearly lays out, Chavez has used this same tactic elsewhere to subvert the democratic process and install mini-Hugos beholden to him in several Central and South American countries.
(online.wsj.com/article/SB124640649700876791.html) The Honduran army was acting at the order of the Honduran Supreme Court, which was backed by the Legislature, in hustling Senor Zelaya out of town to prevent this same result. A member of Zelaya's own party was installed as a caretaker president and the country is going to have presidential elections this Fall. So why is Obama in bed with Castro, Chavez and Ortega - great democrats all - on this? Great question. Who is this guy?
