What's Happening In Honduras - Update

The Wall Street Journal updates us on happenings in Honduras. According to WSJ, the United States is using everything it has to break the neck of the Honduran democracy.

To recap, the Honduran military in June executed a Supreme Court arrest warrant against Mr. Zelaya for trying to hold a referendum on whether he should be able to run for a second term. Article 239 of the Honduran constitution states that any president who tries for a second term automatically loses the privilege of his office. By insisting that Mr. Zelaya be returned to power, the U.S. is trying to force Honduras to violate its own constitution.

Obama's obtuse stance on Honduran democracy certainly helps Chavez. How it helps the Obama administration - or Honduras - is incomprehensible.
