"Honduras is one. Though the country is tiny, the power struggle between its established political elite and Chávez acolyte Manuel Zelaya turned into a regional battle between supporters and opponents of the Chávez left -- with Brazil and other leftist democracies straddling the middle. The outcome is a victory for the United States, which was virtually the only country that backed the democratic election that broke the impasse."

What an incredible piece of historical "revisionism" - also known as an outright lie!

Brazil didn't "straddle the middle" with respect to Honduras - they openly supported Zelaya, gave him refuge in their embassy, and sought to destroy the Constitutional government of Honduras.

And the U.S. was worse, imposing economic and diplomatic sanctions on Honduras, in what can ONLY be considered support for Chavez!!!
Obama's State Dept cut off travel visas to and from Honduras, while the Obamanation cut off aid!

Fortunately, the Hondurans stood their ground, and Zelaya is now history.
