Military ousts president of Honduras

What I don't get: if Micheletti really believes that 80-90% of the Hondurans are happy with what's taken place, why didn't he just let the vote happen today and let the voters speak?

Sounds to me like this is where Obama shouldn't meddle! From the outside it sounds like there might be a very good reason for this "Take Over" of power. The same party is in charge, so something isn't right, or something isn't really wrong? Sit back and keep a watchful eye. Then again if Chavez is against it, it must be fine, so expect Obama to speak up against it!

...stability is better than the alternative. If the new guy is from the same party, then we can assume he espouses similar political ideas, hence, communist friendly. We simply cannot encourage or support political overthrows within the OAS. There are right and wrong ways to change the government; and this was done in the wrong way. Those of us who remember the instabilty that Central America went through for decades can appreciate the political progress that had been made. This coup has set them back 20 years politically.
