Uh, huh, so tell me, what country or organization has recognized the
"legal" government of Honduras? That's right, none. I'd also suggest
the story is far from over. Micheletti has blinked, and I wouldn't be
surprised to see Zelaya back as President.
The Hondouran government removed its President according to the Honduran
Constitution when the Honduran President tried to hold an extra
Constitutional referendum. The Honduran legislature was the prosecutor,
the Honduran Supreme Court was judge and the Honduran military was the
de facto police force.
Castro, Chavez and Obama didn't like what happened because they saw it
as a puny little Central American country enforcing Constitutional law
thereby preventing the chief of state from staying in office beyond his
constitutional limited term in office setting a bad precedent, according
to them.
