The US's failure in Honduras is more a reflection that it was abjectly wrong about what happened there. The president, Zelaya, tried to change an unchangeable part of the Honduran constitution. That is treason by any measure and the Honduran legislature and Supreme Court overwhelmingly slapped Zelaya down in a perfectly legal and constitutional manner.
0ba-Mao, Hillary and the State Dept. all backed the position that Mel Zelaya's treason was some sort of high democratic principle that must be upheld. Typical liberal support of lawlessness when it suits a liberal agenda.
I agree with you. The goal by the new government is to go into the Brazilian Embassy and root out Zelaya.
