Two days of talks in Costa Rica aimed at ending the political crisis in Honduras have ended without agreement.
Mediators from the host country said the two sides had agreed to resume talks shortly but some regional leaders said they saw little sign of progress.
Ousted President Manuel Zelaya and interim leader Roberto Micheletti had refused to meet but held separate talks with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias.
Correspondents say the former allies' positions remain far apart.

The people of Honduras know that the blow against liberty and republican principle was being planned and carried out by Zelaya himself as he tried to institute a referendum calling for changing the Honduras constitution. That referendum was illegal and not a due process under the Honduras constitution for changing the constitution.
The Supreme Court of that nation ruled against it (properly so) and the President was planning to use the Executive Branch to implement it anyway. That's when the Supreme Court and a majority of the legislature called for the military's assistance...and they gave it, in support of the Hionduras constitution which Zelaya was attempting to subvert.
And so the telling thing about what happened in Honduras is this: EVERY Marxist in the Western Hemisphere is against it, including the Marxist Obama who is arm-and-arm with his marxist friends, Chavez and Castro on this.
That tells you that what the Honduras military did at the request of its Supreme Court and w/support from its legislature was correct, and avoided a move by Marxists to circumvent the Honduran constitution and entrench marxism in Honduras.
Bravo for the Honduras Supreme Court and military...and down with Obama's marxist dogma, policies, and ideology!

Oh my, isn’t this a surprise. /s
A waste of time all around.
Kind of like McCain's political career.
As usual, the UN is clueless.
I agree. Except for the crooks working there!
Good for Micheletti and the Hondurans for doing the right thing and not folding, the UN and Hugo can take a hike.
Zelaya led a failed coup. The remaining two branches of government acted in accordance with their constitution to remove Zelaya from office. Because of Zelaya’s organization and supporters he was deported rather than detained in country in order to prevent him rallying his supporters to violence.
Honduras certainly expected Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez to support Zelaya, but the odd ball President Obama of the U.S. supporting Zelaya has thrown a wrench into the smooth transition of power in Honduras by enabling and energizing Zelaya’s supporters. Worse yet, after having claimed the alleged high moral ground of not interfering in another nation’s politics in regards to the Iranian elections, President Obama’s reversal of that policy toward Honduras’ internal troubles has only made Honduras’ situation worse. By choosing to directly meddle in internal Honduras affairs in favor of Zelaya’s bid for power in excess of those granted by the Honduran constitution, President Obama has in effect stifled the hopes of democratic and freedom movements throughout the world, and especially in South America, where the U.S. had previously been perceived as a spiritual ally of the democratic and freedom movements.
Sad, but that’s the way I see it.
Seems to me that, while possession normally is 90% of the law,
in this case it should be 100%.
What is there to talk about?
My thoughts exactly. There is no crisis, just one would-be dictator tossed out on his ear.

It is easier to read at the link.
The political crisis could end tomorrow if Zelaya would politely step aside - since they’re not arresting him and trying him for treason I think he should be pleased with getting off so easily.
You see it with crystal clear eyes. That is exactly how it is.
Tried for treason? The Honduran military will put a nicely placed bullet in his head.
The lazy communist bastards need to be ready to fight to take the wealth of the Citizens who WORK for a LIVING.
Seriously, Honduras has upheld the rule of law so well, almost text book, they shouldn't stray from that now.
0bowdown needs to get that message too. The USA will become a communist country over many dead bodies.
