The facts seem at odds with your assessment...

What was said previously seems to paraphrase this paragraph from your
article.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
His ouster came hours before polls were to open on a constitutional
referendum that Zelaya was pushing ahead even after the Supreme Court
and the attorney general said it was illegal. ***The constitution bars
changes to some of its clauses, such as the ban on a president serving
more than one term, they said.***
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++

From the article it appears Zelaya was trying to change the
constitution to allow him to be president for longer that allowed in the
constitution.

The author of the article does spins everything to make it appear that
Zelaya is in the right.

My point is that "the Honduran Supreme Court removed their president
in accord with legal procedure" is absolute BS.

Even FOX news says, "Soldiers seized the national palace and flew
President Manuel Zelaya into exile Sunday, hours before a disputed
constitutional referendum."

For you kiddies out there, I'm old enough to remember all of the
military "coup d'etats du jour" of the 50's through the 80's.... if
you aren't, it's time to hit the history books...

If we have learned anything from history, it should be that Obama is
rightfully concerned.

The president was detained "In compliance with a court order". The
courts had ruled his attempts to have this referendum was illegal and
unconstitutional.
If Obama was to attempt to hold such a referendum on his own and
ignored court orders, he should be arrested.
