If Zelaya gets into the presidency again, what’s the guarantee he will leave? Latin America has a long, long history of such people who seized power and made themselves president for life.

And although the majority of Hondurans probably oppose him, he is a populist who has backers. And possibily he could find supporters in the army, willing to turn on the officers who expelled him earlier, in return for power.

It’s an old and all too common story. Chavez was actually given the boot once, but when he got back in because the idiots in the CIA advised Bush to do nothing, that was it. He is now Dictator for Life, and he’ll kill anyone who interferes with his wishes. As many already have died for opposing him.

the difference is,u get an agreement like this and now the legitimate Honduran govt. has the backing of the rest of the world(except Cuba,Venez,Nicargua etc)including the UN as worthless as they are to us.
I think these people work better without the glare of an honest day upon them.
