Meslin, in a week we will know nothing! Obama says one thing, then does the complete opposite, I won't bore you with the many examples we have witnessed this year. 1. As for Honduras, President Zelaya was in Washington and Obama and Clinton did not meet with him, why? 2. America is always the first to shout Sanctions when "civil liberties have been abused", why haven't they done so now? They usually even go for unilateral sanctions! 3. America has thousands of troops in Honduras, why? 4. The Venezuelan and Cuban ambassadors were detained by the coup masters on the day of the coup, why? Why not detain the western ambassadors? This whole things has smelled of Washington since day1.
I can't see how she thinks "this could not have happened with support from the Americans" - it's pretty easy really, the judiciary or military leadership or whoever sends a handful of troops/police around to the president's house and they put him on a plane to Costa Rica. It doesn't seem complicated at all and not needing any input from the USA. Perhaps she thinks that the entire Honduran people are too stupid to have found a few people to do this without having someone else to hold their hand.
it should be possible to create a covenant with the united nations so that if a nation suffers a military coup, the UN could intervene to revert a military coup and to punish the plotters.
