And the interim so-called coup leader is willing to step down as long as Zelaya is not allowed to return to the presidency:
"If need be, I will resign, as long as Zelaya does not return to the country. And if he comes ... let him come and face justice," Micheletti told Channel 10 television.
And late Friday, the interim government issued a statement saying it had sent Costa Rican President Oscar Arias — who has served as a mediator in talks on the dispute — yet another set of proposals.
Odd behavior for a so-called coup leader, no? Meanwhile, Zelaya insists on returning to power.
The Organization of American States also insists the thug Zelaya must return to power. Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela are his big allies. We side with them. Gosh, I'm so proud of our diplomacy!
Well we're not totally siding with them fortunately. We have yet to officially call the events a "coup" which would trigger sanctions.
I hope we realize that a coup was stopped--not started. But we may be too embarassed to admit our initial error and backtrack.
I hope the Hondurans with our refusal to call the Zelaya Affair a coup can run out the clock until the November elections in Honduras put a new president in office.
